Rotary Leadership Institute

LeadershipInstituteRotary Leadership Institute Courses available in Montgomery Alabama on March 25th, 2010

The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a multi-district, grassroots leadership development program of member districts organized into regional divisions in various parts of the world.

RLI is not an official program of Rotary International and is not under its control.

RLI seeks to have Rotary Clubs in its member districts identify those Rotarians who appear to have the potential for future club leadership (not necessarily as club presidents) and provide those so identified with a quality education in Rotary knowledge and leadership skills so important in voluntary organizations. (From the RLI website - www.rotaryleadershipinstitute.org.)

Rotary Leadership Institute helps Rotarians prepare to take on more responsibility in the work of Rotary. Our district participates in the RI Zones 29-30 Regional Leadership Institute – Heart of America Division

The Rotary Leadership Institute was founded to assist in improving the Rotary knowledge and leadership skills of the future leaders of our Rotary clubs. We believe that excellent leadership is the key to successful service by our clubs to our communities and our world…Dave Linett RID, International Chair
