Rotary Leadership Institute - February 2nd

This letter is a reminder that the next Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is scheduled for Saturday, February 2 at the Four Points Sheraton in Lexington. The session begins at 8:00 am and ends at 3:30 pm.

If you have need of lodging for Friday night February 1, please contact Martha Riddell (dmriddell@aol.com) as rooms may be available at the Four Points Sheraton.

RLI is geared towards those club members who are considered as future leaders of your club but is also appropriate for anyone who wants to know more about Rotary.  Any Rotarian in our District can attend RLI.

The challenge of many of our clubs is that of moving Club Members into being active Rotarians.

RLI does just that!

Rotarians who attend RLI become much stronger leaders in the club. They become active beyond the club.  RLI graduates attend interclub meetings, assemblies and conferences.

RLI helps to start their thirst for Rotary. For those that go on to become Club Presidents...when they attend President Elect Training, they are ready to take advantage.  They know what questions to ask and they learn a lot more than those attending without attending RLI. 

Sponsoring future club leaders to attend RLI is the best investment you can make in your club's future!

RLI consists of three one day parts.  First time participants attend Part I.  The second time they register for Part II and the third time Part III and graduation.

ARE YOU POSITIONING YOUR CLUB FOR FUTURE SUCCESS?

Outstanding clubs recruit up and coming club members to attend.

Clubs normally pay or reimburse the registration costs.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY FOR ATTENDEES TO REGISTER AND PAY ONLINE:

P.S.  We're encouraging you to recruit a future leader to represent your club at RLI and have them register by January 21!!!
