What is RLI?

RLI is a three-Part non-consecutive basic course in both Rotary knowledge and leadership skills. In addition to specific Rotary knowledge and skills, most of the RLI sessions have a leadership component. Each Part lasts from roughly 8:30 to 4:00. To become an RLI graduate, you must complete all three Parts on three different days. 

RLI is a grassroots coalition of Rotary districts implementing a leadership development program for "potential" leaders of Rotary Clubs. Established in 1992, RLI has become a worldwide organization with divisions in every Continent of the 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. Rotary Club leaders 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 is designed to help provide this.

The expectation of RLI is to have clubs identify those with the potential for future club leadership and send them to RLI courses at club expense. All member clubs may send any club Rotarian to RLI courses and any Rotarian may attend any course at his/her own initiative.
