Judging by the evaluations and the comments received, I believe we can all consider it a success.” One participant comment that the course is very helpful for her new Rotary club. Another person said they like the networking and hearing about projects in other clubs.
 
Topics of an RLI Part 1 course:
•            Insights into Leadership
•            My Rotary World
•            Engaging Members
•            Our Foundation
•            Ethics & Vocational Service
•            Service Project
 
The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a series of three, one-day workshops. Participants may only take one part per day and must have completed the prior part(s) to take the next higher part. These are fast-paced, interactive courses offered to refine a Rotarian's leadership skills and increase his or her base of knowledge in Rotary. Courses are fun, topical, interactive, and geared toward busy business, professional and community leaders who want to be knowledgeable about Rotary and more effective leaders in both their vocation and club.
 
Another Part 1 session will be scheduled for early 2018.
