RLI-SD, we teach LEADERS about ROTARY

As Rotarians, you are all leaders, some in your community, some in your profession, and some in life in general…

At RLI, our purpose is to give you the necessary tools and skills to be better Rotarians. As in every endeavor, the more you know about anything, the more interesting it becomes. Rotary is most assuredly one of those areas that the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. RLI can make that possible for you. Graduates of RLI are more likely to remain in, and be a bigger part of Rotary, than any other demographic.

RLI is a great place for newly inducted Rotarians to quickly learn about the “Object of Rotary”. Club Officers can build on their Rotary Knowledge to enhance their club experience. Club Presidents can expand on the skills gained at their President Elect Training Seminar. Long time Rotarians can re-kindle the old Rotary flame, and at the same time share their experiences with the other participants.

We have just completed one of the most successful RLI seasons ever and wish to thank the Directors for their hard work and dedication.

We wish anyone visiting this site to seriously consider RLI as part of your Rotary Journey. We strongly believe the Sunshine Division of RLI is the brightest division in The Rotary Leadership Institute. (pun intended)

Thanks for visiting our website, now come visit our events.

Lee Phares, PDG
RLI Sunshine Division Chairman 2023-2025
