Dirk Chatelain 
24th and Glory
Award-winning journalist Dirk Chatelain uncovers the mystery of Omaha’s greatest generation of athletes. They rose out of segregation as racial tensions in north O boiled hotter and hotter. During the civil rights era, they ascended to national prominence – Bob Boozer, Gale and Roger Sayers, Marlin Briscoe, Ron Boone, Johnny Rodgers and Bob Gibson.

Rotary Leadership Institute
Engage and empower members . . .
Energize and strengthen your Rotary Club . . .
Provide Leadership Development for Members . . . 
Learn about Rotary and have fun!
 
That is the Rotary Leadership Institute experience!
 
Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a facilitated program with active participation - not lecturing. Topics important to Rotary and Rotary Clubs such as Effective Service Projects, Membership Engagement, and understanding The Rotary Foundation are explored. You will discuss real challenges and exchange ideas.
 
Sign up yourself - you will be a more effective leader for your Rotary Club.
 
Nominate members and they will naturally become more engaged because they will have a richer Rotary experience.
 
RLI is for everyone - Leadership is not a position, it is action.
