What Is The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) ?

RLI is a grassroots coalition of Rotary districts implementing a leadership development program for "potential" leaders of Rotary CLUBS. RLI believes that excellent CLUB leadership (all types of club leaders) is essential to the future of Rotary in a complex and fast changing world. Most Rotarians have not been exposed to the great scope of Rotary around the world and have not considered what leadership skills are necessary to move Rotary forward. RLI strongly believes that a good Rotary Club leader must know the evolution of Rotary, its current status and activities in the world and have a vision for what Rotary can be in the future.

RLI provides a three day non-consecutive basic course in both Rotary knowledge and leadership skills, especially for voluntary organizations. RLI follows an adult learning approach with facilitated discussion led by trained Rotary facilitators.  The cost is $70 per Rotarian per course. This cost covers course materials, coffee breaks and lunch. Usually the Rotary club covers the cost for their members to attend since the club will be the beneficiary of a more knowledgeable membership.

Course for 2017-18: Part I and Part II and Part III are being scheduled for September 30, 2017 in Belleville, in November 2017 in Oshawa, and in April 2018 in Scarborough. Ontario (8:30 am to 4:00 pm) .  Registrations will soon be open for the 2017-18 session on a first-come, first-serve basis on line at the www.rotary7070.org website by signing in and signing up and paying your $70 for your course. A minimum of 18 participants is needed for a course to run.
