NOTE: Dates UNDERLINED are meetings that must be attended by ALL STUDENTS involved in the District 6290 RYE Program. This includes ALL Inbound Students and ALL Outbound Candidates. Rebound students and Rotex will be by invitation.

NO OUTBOUND CANDIDATE WILL BE EXCUSED FROM ANY OF THE CONFERENCES EXCEPT FOR SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. AND ONLY WITH THE PRIOR APPROVAL OF THE DISTRICT CHAIRMAN. The preparation of our students for their overseas assignments is of paramount concern to us, and since there is so much information to convey in a few short weekends, we consider it essential that our Outbounds be present at all conferences.

Failure to attend required meetings without the necessary approval of the District Chairman could result in being dropped from the program.

At least one of the parents of OUTBOUND Candidates should consider it a requirement to attend the November and April Conferences on Sunday and entire Calvin conference prior to the departure of their son or daughter. Once again, there is considerable information to convey, and it is in the best interests of the parents and their sons or daughters to be present.

Rotary Youth Exchange Officers will please advise host parents of all INBOUND Students, and parents of all Outbound Candidates of these meeting dates to avoid future scheduling conflicts.

A minimum of one Rotary Youth Exchange Officers and/or Youth Exchange Counselor and/or President from EACH participating Rotary Club must attend a minimum of one training session each year. Failure to abide by the preceding will be reason to terminate the Rotary Club from District 6290 Rotary Youth Exchange Program.
