RLIs Scheduled in Zone 33
The purpose of the Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is to strengthen your club and strengthen your life. Rotary provides an opportunity for all of us to provide service to our community and throughout the world. (Service Above Self) With that service comes a learning experience in the areas of leadership, team building, planning, marketing, communication and organization. RLI provides an opportunity to enrich that learning through sharing experiences and ideas with other Rotarians throughout the region.
The full RLI schedule is available at www.rli33.org.
Rotary Leadership Institute training offers three parts of highly interactive leadership training, and traveling to other Districts offers insights into how other Rotary Clubs function. It’s well worth the effort to learn more about service projects and how clubs in different regions integrate with their communities.
