Manila Rotarians Host DISTAS 2016

As a fitting testimony to the emerging role of our club, the Rotary Club of Manila, the First in Asia, in district affairs, it is with great pride that we play host to the District Training Assembly 2016 (DISTAS 2016). The event, which is one of the mandatory activities of Rotary International, takes place on May 7, 2016 at the Philippine Trade Training Center, Sen Gil J. Puyat Avenue corner Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City. Registration begins at 7:00 am and training starts at 8:00 am.

The DISTAS provides the venue for Club Presidents-Elect to develop their leadership skills and for incoming club leaders to learn their new responsibilities, affording them the opportunity to refine their goals for the incoming Rotary year. The highlight of this year’s DISTAS is the keynote address of a renowned Rotarian whose ways of conducting seminars have made him a much sought after speaker in many a Rotary gathering, Dato Dr. Siva Ananthan of District 3300.
