The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI)
is a series of fast-paced, interactive, one-day courses offered
to refine a Rotarian's leadership skills and increase their base
of knowledge in Rotary.
Courses are fun, topical, interactive and geared toward busy
business and professional Rotarians who want to be more
effective leaders in their vocations and their clubs. It is
recommended that clubs nominate 2 Rotarians each year to begin
RLI and support prior attendees' continuation of the Parts II
and III.
Rotary clubs need a constant influx of new leadership as club
officers, board and committee leaders change every year. It is
difficult at the club level to learn enough about the exciting
world of Rotary with its 1.4 million members in 166 countries.
Furthermore, leadership skills in a voluntary organization are
often different from business leadership skills. It is important
that club leaders have every opportunity for education because
the success or failure of our clubs depends in large part on the
quality of their leaders. This is an outstanding opportunity for
each club to improve the Rotary knowledge of its key people, who
will also be exposed to new ideas of leadership. Just the
interaction with other Rotarians makes the courses worthwhile.
