The Rotary Club of Dabolim Goa has been selected to participate in the Innovative and Flexible Rotary Club Pilot Program.
Feedback from numerous Rotary surveys and focus groups has repeatedly shown that prospective qualified members and younger-aged Rotarians need flexibility to become or remain involved with a Rotary club. The Innovative and Flexible Rotary Club Pilot Program will focus on letting clubs self-determine their operations to fit better with the needs of their members and community. The pilot is focused on encouraging Rotary clubs to be fun, dynamic, diverse, resilient, tolerant, interested in trying new things, member driven, inspirational, and relationship rich.
Also see Fact Sheet on 2011-14 Innovative and Flexible Rotary Club Pilot Program on the Rotary International website, and about Pilot Clubs.

The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a multi-district, grassroots leadership development program of member districts organized into regional divisions in various parts of the world. RLI seeks to have Rotary Clubs in its member districts identify those Rotarians who appear to have the potential for future club leadership (not necessarily as club presidents) and provide those so identified with a quality education in Rotary knowledge and leadership skills so important in voluntary organizations.
RGHF Mission: As an effort to serve others, RGHF offers history training for Rotary leaders. The fellowship accumulates and preserves the complete history, values, and philosophy of the Rotary movement, as well as encourages others to do the same at every level of the Rotary movement, and publishes those histories, values, and philosophies on the internet, as well as other forms of media as expedient.
