Rotary Leadership Institute
Posted by Edward Covelli
The mission of The Rotary Leadership Institute is to provide an educational opportunity for Rotarians identified as potential leaders by their club presidents.
I had the pleasure of attending and finishing part 3 of the RLI program this November. I was accompanied by Connie Fagan, Rose Gaughan and Lisa Gold. We all attended different classes at different levels, but one thing we all shared was a better understanding of how RI works and what its goals are. Although the purpose of the program is to give you the tools to help RI accomplish its goals, the lessons that you take away are valuable in business, other civic organizations, politics and every day life.
I would strongly encourage any Rotarian to attend at least part 1. Many long time Rotarians would be surprised to learn how little they know about the organization they belong to.
Each club president is asked annually to nominate club members as potential club leaders (not necessarily future presidents) in the years ahead. Courses are given for the nominees to foster Rotary knowledge and leadership skills. It is hoped that these courses will also motivate the participants to be enthusiastic, creative and dedicated Rotarians. Those attending the three course days for their full duration will receive recognition of completion. Course methods will reflect the most innovative and participatory methods possible. Methods will include discussion groups, role-playing, problem solving workshops, group planning exercises, etc. Lectures are limited.
