The Rotary Large Club Conference is hosted once a year by the Association of Rotary Club Executive Directors and presents the opportunity for Executive Directors to meet with peers for the purpose of development, motivation, exchange of ideas and training of President-Elects of their Clubs. The President-Elects have an opportunity to exchange their ideas, plans and develop goals for their year as President. Throughout the conference, the Executive Directors and President-Elects team for each club has the chance to strengthen their partnership as they prepare for the Rotary year ahead.
