-Technology Program for a Club Meeting.

The Technology Committee is organized into five subcommittees:

This effort has been recently redirected to coordinate tech training through the Club Internet Communications Officers, or CICO's, under the leadership of the District Internet Communications Officer, or DICO. This committee also reports on technology and training progress at our district events: District Conference, PETS, AG Training, District Assemblies and Midterm.

This committee assists in electronic communication in all aspects of information management within out district. This includes all District Governor notices of district events, District Newsletter and membership support information.

--District Technology Library: charged with collecting, editing and standardizing Rotary presentations, mostly in PowerPoint, and making them available on the district website.

--District Technology Support Committee: charged with providing technical support for our presenters at all District training sessions, including Midterm and District Conference. This committee also creates and staffs a tech booth at the Midterm and District Conference.
