what is the purpose of Lone Star Division rli?
Our Rotary District 5890 is one of eight districts representing Rotary clubs in Texas that are the current active districts in the Lone Star Division RLI, a division of RLI International.
The Lone Star Division RLI holds (RLI) 2-part webinar sessions which are a series of fast-paced, interactive, online webinars to refine a Rotaractor or Rotarian's leadership skills and increase their base of knowledge in Rotary.

Rotary districts in Texas are holding RLI classes either via Zoom, in-person, or hybrid. In the very near future, District 5890 will hold in-person RLI sessions here in the greater Houston area.
The Registration fee for each of the three Parts (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) is $50/Part for our current Zoom classes. All class materials & handbook will be emailed to you if you're attending Zoom classes, or given to you at in-person classes.
RLI a good investment in your personal and professional leadership development, Rotary or elsewhere. We recommend RLI for current presidents, President-Elects, President Nominees, club directors, committee chairs, active and new Rotarians & Rotaractors.
The webinars are fun, topical, interactive, and geared toward Rotarians and Rotaractors that are busy business and professional persons who want to be more effective leaders in their vocation, in their club, and possibly becoming district leaders in the future.
