MDI (formerly known as Men's Divisions International) is a mutual benefit not-for-profit organization that has been active in the United States and Canada since 2000. The organization's focuses are on the strengths and sorrows its men face, friends, families, work places, and communities.〔http://www.mensdivisionsinternational.com/ClubPortal/ClubStatic.cfm?clubID=854&pubmenuoptID=8047.〕 ==History== In the late 1980's small groups of dedicated men, volunteers part of the Sterling Institute, recognized and became dissatisfied with the nature of that organization and formed an "arm's length" group called The Men's Divisions, a separate and masculine entity in its own right. Entity is the operative word because the spirit fostered within The Men's Divisions lives and is life affirming, connecting men from all walks of life to the larger body called Men which is sustained by and generates mature masculinity. It must be stated that although "separate", the Men's Divisions continued to support Justin Sterling and the Sterling Institute of Relationship, all of which were for-profit organizations supporting Justin Sterling. They continued this relationship throughout the rest of the 1980's and most of the 1990's. In the late 1990's a majority of the membership of the Men's Divisions were once again feeling unfulfilled with the lack of leadership and vision for the future coming from Justin Sterling and his Institute. It became apparent that what was needed was an organization whose goal was not to profit one man, but create a legacy that would insure there was an organization for future generations of men. A place that would encourage men to become mature masculine leaders who are successful in their families, careers and communities. Between 1998 and 2000, the volunteer leadership, with the help of a number of other key volunteers, completely broke away from Sterling and his Institute, forming the independent volunteer organization of Men's Divisions International. International was added to the name to recognize the fact that they have always existed in both Canada and the United States. They soon attained not-for-profit status and created their own Weekend for Men, called the Legacy Discovery Event. They still are and own the rights to Men's Divisions International, but in 2010, officially adopted the name of just "MDI".
