Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI)

Rotary Leadership Institute is for all Rotary Leaders in your club.  It is our goal for many Rotarians from every club in our districts to take advantage of these educational opportunities and send at least one candidate to the sessions especially current and future club leaders.

The West Virginia Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is scheduled for April 14.  The sessions begin at 8:30 a.m., lunch at noon, and end at 3:30 p.m.  The location is The Days Inn, Flatwoods, West Virginia.  This location provides an opportunity for Districts #7550 and #7530 to attend a RLI without traveling many miles.  Directions the Days Inn may be found at this website:  "http://www.flatwoods.com/directions.asp" http://www.flatwoods.com/directions.asp.

Part I provides insight into the Rotary Foundation, Membership Retention, and a look into the Rotary beyond the club level.  Part I also outlines ideas to create service projects and review methods to develop leadership potential. Part I is a prerequisite to enrolling in Parts II and III. 
 
Part II provides more in-depth discussion about the Rotary Foundation, how to analyze your Rotary Club, goal setting, and membership recruitment.  Part II also gives participants ideas to improve and recognize vocational service projects.  Part II is a prerequisite to Part III.

Part III emphasizes practical ways of bringing international service to your Club; using your local club experiences to assist in the understanding of the core programs of RI, recreational, vocational and other service opportunities; and, planning and execution of effective public relations.   Rotarians will evaluate the RLI experience in all three undergraduate sessions and discuss the impact of suggested changes to the program.

Please encourage members of your club and especially “future leaders” to attend this training. You will receive additional information for registration in the next few weeks.  Looking forward to seeing you at RLI in Flatwoods on April 14.
