While we in Rotary often think in terms of how we can improve literacy locally and internationally, we are also challenged to improve ourselves through education. Rotary is a complex organization of over 1.4 million members worldwide. To understand how we in Rotary can best serve, we ourselves need training. The Rotary Leadership Institute offers the training we need to understand the processes and systems that make Rotary so effective. See related story below to learn more about RLI.

Deanna Perkins, Marilyn Pokorny, John Pokorny, Bob Troyer and Richard Malcolm participated in the Rotary Leadership Institute - Lone Star Division education sessions in Justin, Texas on Saturday, September 10, 2022.
Being an effective leader is more than just saying "I do". Effective community leaders educate themselves. This is particularly true when working within a complex organization such as Rotary International. The Rotary Leadership Institute - Lone Star Division provides the education needed to be as effective as possible. The beauty of RLI training is that the sessions content apply not only to the Rotary organization, but to our personal careers also.
Quoting Frances, "The beautiful life of being a Rotarian is to visit any country around the world and be welcomed with open arms. Thank you to my new İstanbul Rotary friends for a wonderful welcome."
