Rotary Leadership Institute
At Ortega High School
District 5330 RLI PART I, PART II, and PART III Training Sessions has had great responses with over 100 of our
Rotarians graduating having completed all three PARTS. Approximately 50% of New Members quit Rotary before three
years. It is recommended that New Members participate in the Rotary Leadership Institute to gain knowledge of the full
scope of Rotary, and what a premier service organization they have joined. Thanks to our participants, facilitators and
support staff, the training is well received. Some of the comments received on what the participants liked, included:
• “The diversity of experience. The info was great!”
• “I enjoyed hearing other clubs’ approaches to programs and membership. Also liked meeting district leaders.”
• “Lots of information, well organized and motivated speakers.”
• “The info, the sharing, the whole thing in general.”
• “Variety of speakers. Explanation of foundation. Breakdown and leadership structure.”
• “Good teachers. Very interactive.”
• “Enjoyable speakers – they knew their stuff.”
• “Good delivery, held peoples’ interest.”
• “Everything.”
• “Participation by the attendees.”
There will be PART I, PART II, and PART III sessions on Saturday, September 10 at the Ortega High School Conference
Room, 520 Chaney St., Lake Elsinore. Each of these PARTS will have a maximum of 15 participants. The smaller class
size is imperative to maintain the necessary interaction among the attendees. We will find space for all interested Rotarians.
PART I must be completed before moving on to PART II and PART II completed before PART III.
Cost for the session will remain at $25 per attendee. This covers the materials, cost of facilities and food for continental
breakfast beginning at 8:00am, and lunch. The cost is being kept low to cover expenses without putting an unreasonable
burden on our Rotarians and their clubs.
PART I classes cover “Insights Into Leadership”, “My Rotary World”, “Engaging Members”, “Our Foundation”, “EthicsVocational Service”, and “Service Projects”. There is a different facilitator for each class. Each of the six classes in this first
session is about 50 minutes in length. Classes are interactive with a minimum of lecture time.
PART II classes are “Strategic Planning and Analysis”, “Targeted Service”, “Club Communication”, “Team Building”, and
“Attracting Members”. These classes build on PART I with additional work on the essential skills for having an effective club,
practical mechanics of building a service project, and how to attract and retain new members through shared values and
commitment. We have added small group discussions for more sharing among the participants.
PART III classes are “International Service”; “Effective Leadership Strategies”; “Rotary Opportunities”; “Public Image & Public
Relations”; “Rotarians, Vocational Service and Expectations”; and “Making a Difference”. These classes build on PARTS I &
II and focus on “My Rotary Journey” to help build communities around the world, explore the many opportunities available
with Rotary, identify opportunities to promote the image of your club and Rotary, support meaningful vocational activities, and
to help improve the path for others to follow.
We are extremely excited about the interest in this program. Rotary Leadership Institute prepares Rotarians for roles as Club
Presidents, Committee Chairs, enhanced Club and District Leadership Roles. We have combined with five other districts to
offer these classes. In this approach, RLI for our area is Southern California-Nevada Rotary Leadership Institute, much like
PETS (President-Elect Training) encompasses Southern California and Nevada.
It is an honor to be selected to attend RLI, as it is a mini-PETS (President Elect Training Seminar) , and exposes your
members to additional learning that leads to stronger clubs. Presidents please select at least one member or more, perhaps
your president for 2017-18 or 2018-19, your vice president, or New Members to attend this next session.
