Welcome to the Lone Star Division Rotary Leadership Institute 

The Lone Star Division Rotary Leadership Insitute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

As Rotarians, you each lead in various ways - whether in your community, your profession, or your everyday life.  At Lone Star RLI, our mission is to equip you with the tools and skills needed to excel as a club member, club leader, district-level leader and even in your profession.

We are a collaboration of Rotary Districts 5790, 5810, 5840, 5870, 5890, 5910, and 5930.  Any Rotarian or Rotaractor can attend an RLI session presented by any of our Lone Star Division districts.  

Like any pursuit, the deeper your understanding, the more engaging and rewarding it becomes. Rotary is no exception - the more effort you invest, the greater the rewards.  RLI is here to help you unlock that potential. Studies show that RLI graduates are more likely to stay involved and take on greater roles within Rotary than any other group.
Rotary Leadership Institute International is not an official training program of Rotary International.

Read Our Article in RLI International's Newsletter About Rotaractors
Did you know that Rotaractors can also attend RLI?   Rotaractors bring excitement and a different leadership skillset that is valuable to all of us.
 
While this article was written in December 2023, the article is relevant today!  Rotaractors are eager to learn more about Rotary and having them attend RLI courses helps Rotarians learn more about these remarkable leaders.  
 
Professional Development Hours (PDHs) and/or
Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
Valuable PDHs and CEUs are available now to LSRLI Graduate Courses and Rotary Year 2026-2027 LSRLI Member District's RLI Parts I, II and III.
 
Offering Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Professional Development Hours (PDHs) through Lone Star RLI elevates the value of Rotary leadership training by aligning it with recognized professional standards. These credentials signal that LSRLI's curriculum is not only relevant to Rotary service but also:
  • Meaningful for members’ careers
  • Helping them meet employer requirements
  • Maintain certifications, and
  • Demonstrate ongoing professional growth
By providing CEUs and PDHs, Lone Star RLI strengthens its reputation as a high‑quality leadership development program and gives Rotarians an added incentive to invest in their own learning and long‑term success.
