Leadership Academy

Several years ago, District 5110 was having great difficulty finding individuals who were willing to take on the challenge of being District Governor or to serve in other District leadership positions. Sometimes we had only one or two candidates each year seek the office and even though all did a fine job serving as club president, we knew that we had many qualified Rotarians in District 5110 who were not showing any interest in the DG's position or any other District level office. We knew we had to do something to change this. Then DGE David Horn came up with the idea based on a discussion with PDG Jim Andrews from District 6780 in Tennessee, a "Leadership Academy" program. David obtained their curriculum and got as much information as he could about their program and began to put together a plan to implement a similar program in District 5110 during his year as District Governor (1998-99).

District Leadership Academy Prepares Rotarians for Leadership

The DLA prepares past club presidents and other qualified District Rotarians for leadership at the District Level (DG, DGE, DGN, DGND, AG’s, District Committee Chairs, District Committee members, etc.). The program includes six courses (all done electronically), six assignments, six final exams, and a final written essay. In addition, all participants are required to attend four specific meetings during the year.
