The mission of The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) North East America is to provide an educational opportunity for Rotarians as potential leaders. Each club President is asked annually to encourage Club members as potential Club leaders in the years ahead. Courses foster Rotary knowledge and leadership skills. It is hoped that these courses will also motivate the participants to be enthusiastic, creative and dedicated Rotarians.  Our District's next RLI is being offered virtually on February 24 & 26, 2026.  Register now!  It is open to all Rotary members. 

 

The faculty members are carefully selected by the Institute for their teaching abilities. They are drawn from all areas of the Rotary Districts. Many are present and past R.I. Directors, present and past District Governors, successful past Presidents and those with experience in special areas. 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, who will also be exposed to new ideas of leadership. The exchange of ideas with other experienced Rotarians alone makes the courses worthwhile.

Throughout the Rotary year, clubs will complete a series of Public Image Challenges released every two months. Each challenge focuses on essential public image fundamentals—helping your club create a clear strategy, tell compelling stories, and consistently showcase the good you do in your community.

 

These step-by-step activities are ideal for Public Image Chairs, committees, and club leaders, and are designed to:

 

Share Some Love (dollars) with The Rotary Foundation’s (TRF) Annual Fund Share and District 7930 will Share Some Love with you by donating Foundation Recognition points to your Foundation account in celebration of Valentine’s Day and Rotary’s 121st anniversary.  For every $100 donated to TRF’s Annual Fund-SHARE from Valentine’s Day (February 14^th through February 23rd, Rotary’s 121st Anniversary), qualifies you to receive 100 Foundation points. The maximum match is 500 points.

 

This campaign will assist new members and those working to achieve the Paul Harris Fellow designation or move up to the next Paul Harris level to reach it faster and easier.  Points are like cash. 

 

The campaign will also help fund our District Grant and Global Grant projects which are supported by your donations to the Annual Fund-Share.

Points and cash that equal 1,000 allow donors to receive the Paul Harris Fellow designation. For example, if you are $500 away from a Paul Harris recognition, your $250 donation will be matched by 250 Foundation points to get you to that level.
