Rotarian Gene Windham spoke to the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville at their noon meeting on July 7 on the topic of “RLI” (“Rotary Leadership Institute”).  He emphasized that the goal of RLI is to teach Rotarians how to be better Rotarians and to make clubs better.  He thought “Rotary Knowledge Institute” would be a better name because “all the knowledge is in the room” and there to be shared.  He encouraged all to become engaged by having them stand and participate in a Rotary “growl.”  In his comments he focused on membership engagement and the importance of sharing one’s “time, talent, and treasury.”  Audience members responded to queries re: the values of engagement and the ways to encourage engagement of members.   Windham stressed the importance of attendance and suggested strategies for retention of members.
