Optimist International 2022 - 2023 Governor-Elects Conference took place this past weekend in St. Louis, MO. Optimist leaders worldwide enjoyed three days of leadership, growth, networking, and marketing training. We thank them for their dedication to the organization and look forward to their leadership next year. Take this time to encourage other Club Members to take on more leadership roles within their Clubs and Districts so they can start training to be future Optimist leaders.
