District 7030 RLI Director
 
In-keeping with our commitment to improved training, District 7030 held it’s first RLI training for the new Rotary year in beautiful Antigua on Sunday 20th September 2015. It was also the very first time our District has facilitated an RLI with ‘home grown’ discussion leaders, namely PDG Hervé Honore, DGE Roger Bose, DGN Waddy Sowma, AG Dominique Venere and PP Sonya Alleyne. They all very kindly gave up their time to spend the weekend with 20 enthusiastic Rotarians from clubs in Antigua, Trinidad, St Kitts and Guyana.
 
Our Discussion Leaders facilitated discussion in the following areas:
-    The Object of Rotary
-    Membership Engagement
-    Rotary Opportunities : Fellowships, Action Groups, etc
-    Ethics and Vocational Service
-    Rotary – The Bigger Picture
-    The Rotary Foundation
The feedback from participants was superb – they thoroughly enjoyed the interactive learning style, and felt the entire day was well organised.  The Discussion Leaders were evaluated by PDG Vance Lewis from District 7020, who also commended our District on a job well done.
 
RLI Part One will be repeated the day before our District Conference next April, in Barbados, and for the 20 Rotarians who completed Part One in Antigua, they will have the opportunity to go on to Part Two.
 
Exciting times ahead for training in our Rotary District !!
