Rotary members can be plugged into small groups to assist staff in facilitating these discussions and activities.
- Dangerous Parallel Activity: On Friday from 1-4pm conferees will be participating in a activity where they will be divided into different country’s and have to negotiate a conflict. There is opportunity for visiting Rotarians to help monitor the activity and help keep groups focused on the task at hand. If you are interested in participating in this activity you would need to arrive in the morning to be briefed on the activity.
- Leadership Elements: On Friday morning conferees will be presenting on various leadership elements they have been learning about from 10:30-noon. There is an opportunity during this time to have a few Rotarians briefly share a leadership element or trait that they find to be important for leaders today.

George Stancil does a great job of tracking down guest speakers for our meetings, but he's only one man. If you know of anyone who might be willing to speak to the club please let George know!
