Maggie graduates from the Rotary Leadership Institute
Maggie Alexander has been attending the Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) and graduated last Saturday from Graduate Course 13, along with 6 other Rotarians from District 9685. DG Graeme Davies presented certificates to all.The RLI Graduate Course is run over three Saturdays from 8:30am to 3:30pm at the District Office in Thornleigh. Even though the program takes a fair chunk of time, it is thoroughly worthwhile for long-time or new Rotarians, according to Maggie. She says:
"It is a very well structured and run course with an action-learning approach with suits adult learning. It engages everyone and covers all the areas you need to be a good leader in Rotary.
You learn about everything from the structure of Rotary to engaging members, ethics, Foundation, International Service, PR and media relations. You get well organised notes in a binder.
There are interactive sessions as well as practical sessions with case studies and exercises based on real-life Rotary situations. The presenters are all experienced Rotarians and excellent facilitators. Even the lunch is up to scratch!"
The next course is enrolling still but filling fast. The course fee is very reasonable at only $55 and the Club will pay for you. Just let Shankar know and he will arrange registration and payment. For more information see http://rotarydistrict9685.org.au/Stories/new-rli-course-2.
