The Club Officers and Leadership Seminar 2019 took place on Saturday 11 May at Sarah Lawrence College (Bates Center for Student Life). An exciting and comprehensive program was drawn up for the Seminar, which began at 9 am. District Governor-Elect Mahbub Ahmad opened the Seminar. There were Plenary sessions on:
District Support for Local & International Service Projects
Social Media - by Social Media expert Robin Colner

There were three concurrent Hands-on workshops:
Workshop 1 Club 101: Managing your club: Good Housekeeping, Records and Reporting
Workshop 2 Grants: District and Global Grants: Grant Benefits, Applications and Process
Workshop 3 Rotary Online: Helping your club grow : RI & District Online Resources
