What Is The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) ?

RLI is a grassroots coalition of Rotary districts implementing a leadership development program for "potential" leaders of Rotary CLUBS. 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.

RLI follows an adult learning approach with facilitated discussion led by trained Rotary facilitators.  

Please do not be disappointed. Contact Susan.hunter@rotarytoronto.com If you have any questions, you can also call Susan Hunter at  416-822-8409
