Welcome back to another edition of the Governor’s 3 Under 3, where Governor Sean Mueller highlights three important topics in under three minutes.
CLUB OFFICER-ELECT REPORTS
Just a quick reminder—Club Officer-Elect Reports (COERs) are due by May 20!
If your club has already held elections, please be sure to submit your newly elected officers through the Optimist Leaders portal by the deadline. This is a crucial step to help us plan next year’s administration and ensure a smooth leadership transition.
Timely reporting helps keep your club connected, supported, and ready for a strong start to the next Optimist year. A step-by-step video guide will be released soon to assist you through the process.
Mark your calendar—May 20 is the deadline! Thanks for all you do to keep Optimism alive and thriving.
