District 9820 is once again offering a Rotary Leadership Institute course. This is an excellent investment in increasing your understanding of all things Rotary.
The 2-day course is open to all Rotarians in the District and is held from 8:30 am to 4 pm on 27th August and 17th September at Gippsland Rotary Centenary House, 39 Valley Drive, Traralgon Vic.
The cost to attend is a very reasonable $100, usually paid for by Clubs. Please talk to President Gus or Secretary Sam if you decide to attend. NOMINATIONS close in a few days, so please be proactive and book in by contacting Gus or Sam.
Jane Moore commented:
"I did RLI with Lea Paton, sponsored by the Club, which was excellent. A great thing for our newer members is to introduce them to the Rotary side of Rotary by understanding our core values and purpose and forging inter-club relationships with fellow attendees".
Who is the course for?
Most Rotarians have not experienced the great scope of Rotary around the world and may not have considered what leadership skills are necessary to move Rotary forward. We encourage Rotary Clubs to select several candidates each year for the RLI. Participants return to their clubs with enthusiasm, new contacts, fresh ideas, an increased understanding of their potential as Rotarians, and valuable skills for their potential leadership in the club.
Topics include:
- My Rotary World
- Creative Service Projects
- Analysing a Rotary Club
- Building a Stronger Club
- Club Communications
- Vocational Service - Ethics
- Leadership and Team Building
- Effective Leadership Strategies
- Membership - Attracting, engaging, and retaining members.
- The Rotary Foundation
- International Service
- Public Image & Public Relations
- Making a Difference
