Re: Online RLI-Part I offered November 3 & 5 - 5:30 to 8:15PM
Hello,
Here is an opportunity that may interest you. Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) education is a program that strengthens knowledge in Rotary and leadership skills. Part I, of three parts, is being offered in an online format on the evenings of November 3 & 5. One must attend both evenings to complete Part I. This offering is made possible and hosted by D6190, Coordinator Pamela Stewart in collaboration with the RLI-HOA Division. Accordingly it will be open to all Heart of America Division Rotarians to attend.
It will be conducted by a team of Facilitators from D6190 and other Districts in the HOA Division. This team includes D6040 members Elizabeth Usovicz (KC Plaza Club) and Jeff Romine (Kirksville Club). The Rotarians in the Districts of team members will receive notice a few days before the rest of the Division, which consists of approximately 60,000 Rotarians.
If you are interested, you are advised to move quickly, because a similar session in June of 2025 filled in just 4-5 days.
