Foundation Training is directly related to how our District performs in annual contributions to the Foundation – the more our members understand our Foundation and all the good it does in our world the more they will be inclined to support what is our very own charity.

District Training Seminars are open to all Rotarians with the primary audience being Club Foundation Chairs, Club Presidents, Club President-elects, Area Foundation Representatives, Assistant Governors and of course, new members to Rotary. All interested members are invited to attend.
