Rotary Leadership Institute RLI
Mar 28, 2026 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM

Build Stronger Clubs Through Stronger Leadership

The more you understand Rotary, the more meaningful your Rotary experience becomes.

Knowledgeable, informed Rotarians are the foundation of strong, vibrant clubs β€” and Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is one of the best ways to build that strength.

District 7430 will host an engaging, interactive RLI session on Saturday, March 28, at the Gambet Center, DeSales University, Center Valley, PA. Sessions run from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

RLI is not a lecture β€” it’s a dynamic learning experience led by trained facilitators and enriched by discussion with fellow Rotarians from across the district. Participants will leave better informed, more confident, and better equipped to contribute meaningfully to their clubs and to Rotary as a whole.

This session offers RLI Parts I, II, III, and the Graduate Course, making it perfect for both newer Rotarians and experienced members looking to continue their leadership journey.

Registration Fee:

  • $125 for Rotarians

✨ A little friendly competition!
To encourage club participation, the clubs with greater than three participants will be recognized at the event, and each participant will receive a gift.
