The mission of the RLI is to have Rotary clubs identify new club members and those who appear to have the potential for future club leadership and provide quality education in Rotary knowledge and leadership skills .The RLI program does not replace the DLTA or other official Rotary training programs, but augments their important contribution towards a better understanding of what Rotary is about.
The program is not a pre-requisite for becoming a club president. Many clubs that are within a division where the RLI program is available set aside funds each year within their budgets to send new members to the program.
The program is set out in three parts, which are ideally taken one year apart
