Rotary District 6270 is investing in what matters most – in prepared and connected leaders.
On Saturday, May 16, 2026, members of Rotary from across southeastern Wisconsin will gather at the Milwaukee Area Technical College | Mequon Campus for the Club Leadership Summit, a focused learning event for the 2026–27 Rotary year.
Whether you are stepping into a leadership role for the first time or building on experience, this summit offers role-specific workshop sessions, practical tools, and strategies drawn from successful clubs across the district. Past participants have described the experience as truly worthwhile – leaving them energized and ready to lead.
Why This Summit Matters
Successful clubs are built by leaders who are informed, supported, and ready to act.
The Club Leadership Summit is designed to:
- Clarify leadership roles and expectations
- Provide actionable, field-tested tools that participants consistently describe as helpful and easy to implement right away
- Connect you with experienced district leaders and peers in a collaborative environment where ideas are shared, challenges are discussed, and solutions are built together
- Strengthen your club’s ability to serve, grow, and thrive
This event aligns directly with Rotary’s Action Plan by helping clubs increase impact, expand reach, enhance engagement, and adapt for the future.
Designed for Every Club Leader
The summit features role-specific, interactive sessions designed to be interactive and immediately applicable to your club’s work. Each participant gains insights relevant to their role.
- Service Projects Chairs – Learn how to design meaningful projects that address real community needs, build partnerships, secure resources, and measure impact. Create service projects that are visible and sustainable.
- Membership Chairs – Discover strategies to attract new members, foster inclusion, and create a club experience that keeps members engaged and connected. Strong membership is the foundation of every successful club.
- Public Image Chairs – Strengthen your club’s visibility by learning how to tell your story effectively, use social media with confidence, and align with Rotary’s People of Action message.
- Rotary Foundation Chairs – Explore how to increase participation, promote giving, and connect your club’s work to Rotary’s global impact – from local grants to initiatives like End Polio Now.
- Secretaries – Gain tools to manage club operations efficiently, maintain accurate records, and leverage My Rotary to support effective leadership and communication.
- Treasurers – Build confidence in managing club finances, from budgeting and reporting to ensuring transparency and long-term sustainability.
Open to All Members of Rotary
The summit is designed for incoming club officers, board members, and committee chairs. It is also open to any Rotary member interested in strengthening their club. Many attendees say one of the most valuable aspects of the summit is the opportunity to collaborate with peers, exchange ideas, and learn what’s working in other clubs.
If you want to gain a deeper understanding how Rotary clubs operate, this is your opportunity.
What You’ll Gain
Participants will leave the summit with:
- Clear understanding of their role

Think of the Council on Legislation (CoL) as Rotary International’s version of a parliament or congress. Every three years, representatives from every Rotary district around the world come together to review and vote on changes to Rotary’s governing rules—things like how clubs operate, how leaders are chosen, and how dues are set.
