Rudy Estrellado, Chairman, RLI Philippines Division reports:(excerpts) "The very first Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) Faculty Orientation course in the Philippines was conducted at the Asian Institute of Management on Feb. 5-6, 2008. This program was not an RLI course, but was designed for the Faculty members who will lead the discussion groups at future courses. There were thirty seven district and club officers present at the sessions from eight Philippines districts. I would like to thank RLI for sending PDG Frank Wargo and PDG Tam Mustapha to the Philippines. Frank and Tam, who are highly qualified Facilitators trained our Faculty, the founding members of RLI Philippines Division, with so much enthusiasm. Both demonstrated that RLI courses can be fun, interactive, and geared toward busy business and professional persons who want to be more effective leaders in their vocation and club.


The messages delivered by RIPD Paing Hechanova at the opening and graduation ceremonies were truly inspiring. The assistance provided by PDG Danny Yu and PDG Sonny Coloma in training our Faculty members is highly exceptional. I have to thank them with all my heart. And of course, I have to express my sincere thanks to the Rotarians who helped me in setting up and organizing the Faculty Orientation Seminar: PDG Mark Go, PDG Ed Tumangan, PP Caloy Ocampo, PP Frank Layug and PP Richard Ngui.


Allow me to express this quotation from an anonymous source: "We hesitate to take actions or make decisions, in matters large and small, occasionally or regularly, and as a result delay potential success and freeze our fears in place. Sometimes we hesitate because we believe there's a perfect time to take action. But we will never know the perfect time until it has passed. We need to stop expecting perfection in timing or results; it's imperfection that makes us human. Fear of failure is fear of living. When we give ourselves permission to fail, we give ourselves permission to succeed."

What is Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI)?



What is The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI)?

The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a multi-district, grassroots leadership development program of member districts organized into regional divisions in various parts of the world.

It is not an official program of Rotary International and is not under its control.

The RLI seeks to have Rotary Clubs in member districts identify those Rotarians who seem to have the POTENTIAL for future club leadership (not necessarily as club presidents) and provide those so identified with a quality education in Rotary knowledge and leadership skills for voluntary organizations.
