扶輪領導學院(RLI)深信，要在扶輪世界中最有效擴展其領導發展計劃及改善其品質就是成立額外的分部。一個分部可以是一個地區、一個地域或一個國家等，可以與其他分部共事以分享想法及更深一層扶輪領導學院(RLI)的使命。這已成立的分部系統也可由扶輪領導學院(RLI)職員們提供支援和完全避免重覆。一項支援重要的部份包括：可能在那裡、教員的訓練，這是該計劃成功的關鍵要素。

The RLI believes that the best way to expand its leadership development program around the Rotary world and to improve its quality is to form additional Divisions. A Division may be a district, a region, a country, etc., that works together with the other Divisions to share ideas and further the mission of the RLI. The organized division system also provides for support from the RLI officers and attempts to avoid completely reinventing the wheel. An important part of that support includes, where possible, faculty training which is critical to the success of the program.

這些分部可以用同樣的名稱、同樣的標誌，同時也可用相同的教材，提供扶輪社員更多的宣傳並且可強調對未來的扶輪社領導人領導教育的需要。如果扶輪領導學院(RLI)僅僅將教材交出去同時說再見，全世界這將是一種混亂活動的陣容(或者沒有活動)。這將在全球的不同地方無法分享不同的理念也無法分享扶輪領導學院(RLI)領導人及教員的經驗。

The Divisions, using the same name and the same logo and generally using the same curriculum, provide greater publicity to Rotarians and help to emphasize the need for leadership education for potential club leaders. If the RLI merely handed out copies of the curriculum materials and said goodbye, there would be a disorganized array of activities (or no activities) around the world. There would also not be much sharing of ideas among the various parts of the world nor sharing of the experiences of RLI leaders and faculty members.
