RMLI:   HELPING CLUB MEMBERS ATTAIN "CONSCIOUS COMPETENCE" ABOUT ROTARY

What a good day for District 5400 on Saturday, July 31. Greg Podd, a master Rotary trainer and friend of D5400, and I greeted 18 other Rotarians at CSI’s Taylor Building for an all-day training from the Rocky Mountain Leadership Institute.

We had offered the training to Rotarians with an emphasis on those who displayed outstanding leadership abilities. Once the trainers have refined their skills, they will be prepared to conduct innovative and participatory sessions to members of your club. We want your club members to evolve to conscious competence about Rotary. 

Greg says that many Rotarians don't know what they don't know about Rotary.  The RMLI team wants to change that.  More information will be forthcoming.

What kinds of courses will be offered? Here’s a sample:
The Perfect Meeting
Motivating Rotarians and effecting change
Membership development
Membership orientation and activation
Creating service projects
Analyzing a Rotary club
And much more.
