RLI
is a grassroots coalition of Rotary
districts implementing a leadership development
program for "potential" leaders of Rotary
CLUBS. Established in 1992, RLI
has become a worldwide organization
with divisions in every Continent of the world.
While it is an unofficial
program of Rotary International, it has substantial
support of a number of past Rotary International
Presidents and current, past and incoming R.I.
Directors. (See Senior Leaders Advisory Board
under Organizational Information). |

| The R.I. Board has
adopted a resolution recommending RLI or similar
programs to the districts and the Council on Legislation
has twice recommended RLI
to the Board. |
| 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. Therefore,
RLI provides a three day non-consecutive basic course
in both Rotary knowledge and leadership skills,
especially for voluntary organizations. In addition
to the specific leadership skills sessions, all
the RLI sessions have a leadership component. |
| In
addition to the basic three day course, RLI holds
in-depth seminars on important Rotary subjects,
including leadership, for the “graduates”
of the basic course. |
| The
mission of RLI
is to have the clubs in the member districts identify
those with the potential for future club leadership
and send them to RLI
courses at club expense. All member
clubs may send any club Rotarian to RLI
courses and any Rotarian may attend
any course at his/her own initiative.
The overriding goal
of the courses for club Rotarians is to create
ENTHUSIASM for Rotary by opening up to them the
world of Rotary outside of their own clubs and
also showing them the great potential of Rotary
service for the benefit of the world that can
be furthered with excellent leadership in our
clubs.
RLI
is a general education program,
while most Rotary International training programs
are "job-specific"; that is R.I. trains
Rotarians for specific positions. RLI
is not a PETS or any other district
training program, but graduates of RLI bring a
greatly enhanced background in Rotary when they
later attend job-specific programs.
The Handbook
for Prospective Divisions, set forth on this
Website, is a good source of information for all
those considering RLI
membership. Click
