District Governor Rick Hubbs has entered into an agreement with the Rotary Leadership Institute’s (RLI) Prairie Division to offer RLI programs.

 

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.

The Prairie Division currently consists of Districts 5360 and 5370 both of which border District 5550 to the West.

The RLI certificate program consists of three full day face to face sessions, normally held on Saturdays. Sessions are held in local communities within a driving radius of about 1 to 11/2 hours. Daily sessions run from  about 8:30 until 4:00 pm. Topics covered over the three sessions are: Leadership Characteristics/Skills/Strategies, Rotary Beyond the Club, Membership Retention/Recruitment, The Rotary Foundation, Leadership Team Building, Service Projects, Communication Skills, Ethics-Vocational Service, Analyzing Your Club, Public Relations, Opportunities, and Strategic Planning.   

This fall a RLI Facilitator's Training and Certification Day is planned for November 2, 2012 in Russel, MB. If you believe you have an expertise in one of the above areas and would like to volunteer to become a facilitator please contact one of the following District Trainers.
