Rotary Leadership Institute

Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a development program of member districts in various parts of the world to help both new and experienced Rotarians with the knowledge and leadership skills that are so important in various roles that Rotary clubs must fill.  You should consider participating in RLI if you aspire to or are currently serving in club leadership positions. RLI provides attendees with a quality education in Rotary knowledge and leadership skills that are so important in volunteer organizations such as ours.

RLI is our District’s primary learning opportunity and is available to all Rotarians. Session topics cover Rotary basics, The Rotary Foundation and grants, Rotary public image and brand, membership, leadership, teamwork, and more. Sessions are interactive, fun, based on principles of adult learning, and facilitated by Rotary topic experts, some of whom were past District Governors.
