District Board,

I hope you all are doing well! I am excited to finish training you all and to really get this year moving! I know things are still tough and confusing, but you've got this! The dedication you all show to this club, your homes, schools, and communities, is truly admirable.

Be sure to look through this newsletter thoroughly! There's a ton of information in here.

Remember I am always here for you to answer any questions, advise you, or just talk! Also make sure you're communicating with your Zone Administrator.

-District Governor Preston Martz

Governor's Greeting Every year, the District Governor writes a "Governor's Greeting" to introduce themself, their goals, and contact information to the District.

I have recently completed mine. Please send this to your club advisors and any of your club officer contacts you may or may not have. You can send this through email, get it on social media, and send it in any other way!

GATC This past weekend, Bob and I participated in the Governor's and Administrators Training Conference also known as GATC. <<< that's me!

Unfortunately, this conference was virtual; however, it allowed me to get a ton of new ideas and prepared me for my coming year as Governor!

I joined sessions on my role as Governor, inclusivity, leadership traits and qualities, and so much more. In addition, I got to bond with some of my fellow Governors!

Reach out to your club advisors and any known officers!

You can ask them to include you in an upcoming meeting or ask any questions you'd like to know the information to.

This provides them to understand the position has been passed from the previous Lt.G to you!
