This document outlines the roles and responsibilities of an Assistant Governor in Rotary. It discusses that an Assistant Governor has three main roles: 1) as a member of their own Rotary club, 2) as a liaison to a group of clubs assigned to them, and 3) as a member of the district leadership team. As a liaison, the responsibilities of an Assistant Governor include visiting clubs, monitoring goals and progress, coordinating training, and encouraging participation in district activities. The document provides timelines and guidelines for Assistant Governors to work with clubs and help ensure they are vibrant, growing, and achieving their goals.
