Fourteen online training sessions for incoming club secretaries and treasurers were delivered via Zoom between 14 April and 21 June 2020. Registrations were received from far flung parts of both districts 9570 and 9550 including Darwin, Home Hill, Nhulunbuy, Magnetic Island, Mt Isa, D9560 Passport Club and the E-Club of Outback Australia.

Eighty-five Rotarians gave up less than one and a half hours of their time one evening to prepare themselves as best as possible for the coming year. Subsequent to completing the training, a great variety of resources were emailed out to each Rotarian that completed the training. It was great to have a number of incoming presidents Assistant Governors and interested Rotarians sit in on the training just to build their Rotary knowledge. We even had a DGE attend training!

If you missed out on either secretary or treasurer training and feel that the training would be of value to you for the 2020-2021 Rotary year please contact me and I can arrange another training session.

I take this opportunity to thank PP Pam Gregory from Hervey Bay Sunrise for her assistance in delivering treasurer training.
