As our organization evolves and adapts to an ever-changing world, effective leadership becomes even more crucial. In District 5450, we understand that leadership training is paramount to the success of our clubs and members, which is why we are proud to offer this comprehensive program. Our goal is to empower Rotarians with the confidence, knowledge, and skills they need to excel as leaders and make a lasting impact in their communities. By investing in the development of our members, we are laying the foundation for a stronger, more vibrant Rotary for years to come.“

What defines a Rotary Leader and Rotarian Leadership?

Rotarian Leader: A Rotarian who coaches, inspires and motivates others toward a common goal in a collaborative and cohesive way. Leads by example, stretches beyond what is comfortable and expected and helps others to do the same. A leader doesn’t need a title.

Rotarian Leadership: A Rotarian who leads and motivates a group of people to achieve a shared goal, especially in new and better ways. Leadership combines inspiration, motivation, being a role model and providing mentorship while bringing enjoyment, satisfaction and fun to the process of the work. Recognizes and celebrates achievement.
