“Individuality lies at the root of all progress.”

— Mohandas K. Gandhi

HEARD ON THE TOWN

LAURIE SHIPLEY, president-elect of Chattanooga Breakfast Rotary Club, completed Rotary’s recent three-day Presidents-Elect Training Seminar in Nashville. The event is a multi-state training session of Rotary districts in Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee.

The event includes guest speakers, roundtables, discussion groups, district training sessions, fellowship and networking.

“The basic purpose is to have the best prepared, most enthusiastic club presidents in the Rotary world,” Thomas B. Ashford said in a news release “Annually, over 400 presidents-elect return home prepared to carry out their Rotary duties when they take office in July.”
