POLICY RELATED TO ROTARACT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ROTARY INTERNATIONAL
41.040. Rotaract
Rotaract is a program of Rotary International, adopted by the Board in 1968.
Rotaract Statement of Policy
1. The Rotaract program was created by and is an activity of Rotary International, and the authority for the establishment and enforcement of constitutional provisions, organizational requirements and standards of procedure, and for the preservation of the Rotaract name and logo is retained by Rotary International.
2. A Rotaract club is a Rotary club-sponsored organization of young adults ages 18 to 30, whose purpose is to provide opportunity for them to enhance the knowledge and skills that will assist them in personal development, to address the physical and social needs of their communities, and to promote better relations between all people worldwide through a framework of friendship and service.
3. A Rotaract club is organized, sponsored, and counseled by Rotary club(s) and is established following the endorsement of the governor and upon certification and recognition by Rotary International; it can be created and sustained in no other way, and its existence depends upon the active sponsorship of its sponsor Rotary club(s) and continued recognition by Rotary International.
5. All Rotaract club activities, projects and programs shall be conducted in harmony with the policies of Rotary International.
18. Leadership Training
a) An effective Rotaract club depends on the guidance, support, and active participation of the sponsor Rotary club(s). Rotarians should be involved in the training of Rotaractors, Rotaract club officers, directors, and committee chairs. Sponsor Rotary clubs:
· Should pay for and strongly encourage the attendance of club officers, directors, and committee chairs at all relevant and necessary district-level training meetings
· Should appoint Rotarian mentors to Rotaractors in their sponsored Rotaract clubs
· Should promote multidistrict and international training opportunities for Rotaractors, including the Rotaract Preconvention Meeting
b) An effective Rotaract club also depends on the support of the Rotary district. The district Rotaract representative, in conjunction with the district Rotaract committee chair, the district trainer, the district governor-elect, and the district governor, shall promote Rotaract training needs during planning for district leadership seminars, Rotaract training seminars, and other district events. The district should conduct training of Rotaract leadership in conjunction with presidents-elect training seminars (PETS) and club officer training. The district Rotaract representative should organize a Rotaract district conference to promote service, increase international understanding, enhance professional development, and build friendship and connection. Where possible, the Rotaract district conference should occur in conjunction with the Rotary district conference and include at least one joint session.

On May 26th Chair Shermie James-Darcheville organized a training day for all of the members of the club. With more than 70% turn out from the members, it is clear that the club values knowledge as the corner-stone on which Rotary is founded.
This was followed by 15 things that every Rotarian should know presented by Rtn. Eyan St. Helen 
Eyan was followed by PE Lenita Joseph of RCGI who covered the Structure of the Club Board and Committees 
This was followed by a creative presentation by Chair Elect Melisa Agdomar on What Constitutes an Exceptional Rotarian 
As can be seen, Chair Shermie ensured that we did not go hungry while we all engaged in this worthwhile and enjoyable exercise. Chair Elect was followed by Treasurer Joel (RCGI) who becomes PE Joel on July 1st when PE Lenita becomes President.

who both missed the last induction because they were unable to attend the orientation training held earlier. This young club clearly appreciates the value of training.
