Rotary Leadership Institute Graduate Level - Part 3

On Saturday February 3rd 2018, Rotarians from Rotary Clubs of Antigua, Barbados, Gros Islet, Rotary Satellite Club of Gros Islet South, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent South graduated from the RLI Program which was facilitated by DG Waddy Sowma, DG Elect Dominique Venere and PDG Hervé Honore.
 
The final session focused attendees on the History of Rotary with a fun filled competitive game.  The second session was focused on Leadership, which as we know is critical to maintaining stability in clubs.  Effective leaders must knowledgeable in Rotary as well as skilled in the techniques of leadership.  From there we were refocused on the Rotary Foundation, it's purpose and it's programs including Grants.  We looked at the International Service Avenue of Service which is the embodiment of the 4th part of the Object of Rotary - 
 

Object of Rotary

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;

FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

Rotarians will note that the 4th part (the Object of Rotary is an object with 4 distinct parts) of the Object of Rotary ties right into the earlier story - February is Peace and Conflict Resolution and Prevention Month. 

What are we doing in February to highlight this most significant avenue of service in our clubs?

A BIG THANKYOU to our District Leadership team for taking the time to fly into Saint Lucia to facilitate this session.

A HUGE THANKYOU to AG Konrad and Kris for hosting the event at Villa Capris.  The facility worked extremely well for our day of Rotary fellowship and learning.
