Developing leaders in Rotary, business and life


A special Future Leaders’ Seminar for all Rotarians wanting to develop their leadership skills in Rotary at all levels, business and life is on Monday 15 October 2012 in Invercargill, New Zealand. 

The inaugural Future Leader’s Seminar was an outstanding success last year in Brisbane, so that success has been built upon to develop a new programme that focuses on the five key attributes of leadership for this year’s New Zealand event.
The topics covered include the ability to develop a vision that aligns with Rotary’s beliefs and values, and to communicate this in a way that enables others to buy into it.  Then focus passion and commitment using a high level of energy, directing positive action maintained over time, bringing others along with them. 

The Future Leaders’ Seminar will inspire a hunger for leadership generally, and an excitement for Rotary while motivating participants to become leaders in their clubs and districts.  It will also help them to build their networks and volunteer their skills to improve communities. 
The day includes a mix of plenaries with quality speakers from a cross section of business experience and leadership backgrounds, supported by discussion breakout sessions to further develop concepts presented in the plenaries.

Rotarians attending the Future Leaders’ Seminar will also have the rare opportunity to experience the internationality of Rotary, while meeting and socialising from Friday 12 to Sunday 14 October with senior Rotary leaders at Rotary Zone 7b Institute - an event usually restricted to current, past and incoming District Governors and their partners from around the world.

In addition, there are other value-added events, including a Future Vision Seminar immediately following Institute. 

While some districts and clubs may choose to support their current and future leaders to attend the seminar, any Rotarian who has not previously attended a Future Leader’s Seminar can register themselves. 

All Rotarians are encouraged to register as soon as possible.  Full information on these events is at www.futureleaders2012.rotarysouthpacific.org and www.rotaryinstitute.org.nz.
