Mission Questions Office |
What is our mission? The mission of The Rotary Leadership Institute is to provide an educational opportunity for Rotarians identified as potential leaders by their club presidents. Each Club president will be asked annually to nominate club members as potential club leaders (not necessarily future presidents) in the years ahead. Courses will be given for the nominees to foster Rotary knowledge and leadership skills, It is hoped that these courses will also motivate the participants to be enthusiastic, creative and dedicated Rotarians and help in the healthy growth & development of Rotary. Those attending the three course days for their, full duration will receive a recognition of completion at an in-depth Seminar. Course methods will reflect the most innovative and participatory methods possible. Methods will include discussion groups, role playing, problem solving workshops, group planning exercises etc. Lectures are limited. What is the course ? The institute offers a leadership course in three full days. (Parts I, II, & III). The course is designed to provide Rotary knowledge and to develop leadership skills for voluntary organizations. Sessions include, The Perfect Meeting, A Look Outside the Club, The Rotary Foundation, Membership Orientation, Activation arid Retention, Membership Development, Leadership Issues, Creating Service Projects, Youth Service, Vocational Service, International Service, Analyzing a Rotary Club, Creative Service, Public Relations, Public Speaking and other subjects. What are the teaching methods? The Institute believes in course sessions with as much discussion/ participation as possible. Methods include group discussion; role playing, problem solving workshops, creating projects and audio visual presentations. The results of course evaluations help the Institute to improve the course content and instruction. Why do we need a leadership institute? Rotary needs a constant influx of leadership as club officers etc. change every year. It is difficult at the club level to learn enough about the exciting world of Rotary with its 1.2 million members in 163 countries. Furthermore, leadership skills, in a voluntary organization are often different from business leadership skills. It is important that club leaders have opportunity of education because the success or failure of our clubs largely depends on the quality of their leaders. Who should be nominated to attend the Institute courses? The Institute recommends that clubs nominate those Rotarians who appear to have the potential for club leadership, not necessarily as future presidents. The number of participants would be limited to approximately 20 - 30 persons. Candidates should have a strong interest in Rotary and be prepared to be exposed to the larger world of Rotary. The Institute suggests that each club nominates one or two Rotarians each year. What are the costs? The current course fees is Rs 1,000/- per participant for the full course. This would cover coffee / tea / lunch and course materials. Should your club participate? If your club cares about its future, it will want the best leadership possible. This is an outstanding opportunity for each club to improve the Rotary knowledge of its key people to the new ideas of leadership. The exchange of ideas with other experienced Rotarians alone makes the course worthwhile. What its the Recognition? After completing the THREE Part basic program, `"graduates" will be eligible to attend in-depth Seminars held at selected locations, in conjunction with regular courses. Those who complete the course will be entitled to a special PIN and a Certificate. |
What is the difference
between RLI and PETS?
PETS, like most R.I. Training programs is “job specific”. It attempts to orient
incoming
club presidents to prepare them to be in those positions. RLI is a general
education
program that starts well before someone may aspire to become a club president.
It seeks to identify and provide a quality education for POTENTIAL club leaders,
not necessarily as presidents. RLI believes that someone ready to attend PETS
should already have a working knowledge of Rotary and training in leadership
skills
for voluntary organizations. It is too late at PETS to provide that in one day
or
weekend for someone who lacks Rotary knowledge and knowledge of the
necessary leadership skills.]
