That is the Rotary Leadership Institute experience!
Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a facilitated program with active participation - not lecturing. Topics important to Rotary and Rotary Clubs such as Effective Service Projects, Membership Engagement, and understanding The Rotary Foundation are explored. You will discuss real challenges and exchange ideas.
Sign up yourself - you will be a more effective leader for your Rotary Club.
RLI is for everyone - Leadership is not a position, it is action.
Register by October 12 (logon or register for an account at rli-heartland.org)
$85 paid in advance
RLI is not a repeat of other training available through Rotary and is not position specific.
The curriculum is designed using the learning spiral with sessions building on previous topics and experiences.Click here for the brochure.
Testimonial from a recent participant: RLI was a great opportunity to explore Rotary - really learn about this vast organization. This is the first time I truly understood that Rotary was not just about my Club - it extends beyond to other communities, states and the world. I feel that I can truly help my club with programs now that I have participated in RLI.
We will be producing a new printed roster this fall. Consider advertising with us and supporting the cost of printing. We will be passing around a roster to update information or you can email your update to Jennifer. Please contact Matt McKeever or Jennifer for more information or to place an ad.
