Heartland USA Division Rotary Leadership Institute
The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) offers a dynamic learning experience for all Rotary and Rotaract members,
regardless of their level of experience.
What is RLI?
*Facilitated Learning: RLI provides an interactive, participatory learning environment that engages members in discussions and activities. Members discuss relevant challenges and exchange ideas. It is not a lecture series looking at powerpoint slides.
*Leadership Development: The educational series of courses is designed to help members become more effective and knowledgeable leaders within their Rotary Clubs. RLI graduates are encouraged, but not required to assume leadership responsibilities in their club.
*Rotary Fundamentals: Learn about key Rotary topics such as Effective Service Projects, Membership Engagement, Public Image, Build a Stronger Club and The Rotary Foundation. Members learn and grow in their understanding of Rotary rudimentary subjects.
*RLI is not just about Rotary, it’s about learning leadership skills that can be used in our everyday lives.
Why Participate?
*Energize yourself and your club: RLI helps strengthen and invigorate you and your club.
*Leadership Skill Development: Gain valuable skills and knowledge that will benefit you and your club.

*Educational Sessions: Each session builds on the previous one, creating a comprehensive learning experience. A total of 18 different courses are covered.
