RLI Corner - New Pod Structure

Posted by Tamara McCarron
 

New Pod Structure for the District

 
Rotary Leadership Institute has been offered in our district for several years and hundreds of Rotarians have taken one or more modules.  In efforts to ensure all Rotarians, regardless of where they live, have access to these modules we have introduced a District Pod concept that we will be rolling out in the coming year.  Geographic areas in close proximity to each other will form a pod.  For example, Cochrane – Canmore – Banff has been established which will offer RLI training in one of the three locations making it more accessible for Rotarians living in these areas.

Rotarians (new and experienced) working together on an International project grant proposal as part of
RLI Module 3 session.
 
What does this mean?
 
We are working hard to train local teams of Rotarians to be able to facilitate the module content locally.  This also means you can attend a module closer to where you live.  All modules and locations are listed on the district website (http://rotary5360.ca/events/calendar/) so you can easily find a module in a convenient location.
 
Currently, Calgary is the only location in the district to offer regular modules twice a year.  In the coming months you will notice RLI sessions  being offered in the following pod locations:
Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere
 
Lethbridge, Pincher Creek, Raymond, Fort MacLeod, Cardston
 
Cochrane, Canmore, Banff
 
High River, Okotoks
 
 
     
I live in an area that is not listed in one of the pods!
 
Don’t worry! We will be adding other locations over time.  To accommodate clubs during this transition we have made arrangements for facilitation teams to travel to you!  With a minimum of 8 registered Rotarians, our facilitation teams will schedule modules convenient for you. 
 
In the coming year we hope to expand our RLI learning pods to include:
Medicine Hat, Swift Current, Kindersley, Brooks
 
Red Deer , Steller, Lacombe, Drumheller, Sylvan Lake, Rocky Mountain House, Ponoka
 
More learning pods including Olds - Innisfail are coming soon!
We are looking for leaders  in each of these areas!  If you are interested please contact Tamara.
