- Omaha Against Hunger and volunteers from The Family Room Church started preparation well before 7:30, volunteers packaged all the meals in two 1 hour shifts, and Madeline Moyer was vacuuming the room after most had left

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.

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.
