You do not want to miss the 2023 Annual District Conference of Clubs on October 6 & 7! Register here.
We are calling it the “Conference of Clubs” because this year it features over a dozen breakout and plenary sessions delivering exciting ideas and roundtables on Club Service Projects, Fundraising, Member Engagement, Empowering Girls, and more. The Conference features outstanding national speakers at every meal who will Empower and Inspire you, and a fun Friday evening social event.
To keep the registration cost as low as possible so more Rotarians can attend, we rely on club sponsorships to help meet expenses. Click here for the different levels of sponsorship available and recognition given to each level.
If your club would like to be recognized as a Conference sponsor, please contact PDG Michael Drake at michael@drakelawaz.com for information.

This year's conference takes place Oct. 27-29, 2023 in Prescott, Arizona. Click here to register.
