Prior to the District Governor’s visit, your Assistant Governor (AG) will meet with your club officers to review the club’s “Rotary Club Health Check”.
Additionally, the AG will confirm with the Club President the meeting schedule and arrangements.
- Reconfirm with your AG at least one month in advance of the District Governor’s visit.
