Information for Prospective Members
Rotarians are business and professional
leaders who take an active role in their communities while greatly
enriching their personal and professional lives.
A Rotary club contains a diverse group
of professional leaders from the community that the club serves.
Membership in a Rotary club offers a number of benefits, including:
- effecting change within the community;
advancing business and professional contacts;
- developing leadership skills;
- gaining an understanding of - and having
an impact on - international humanitarian issues.
Through Rotary's service programs, a Rotary
club can have a significant effect on the quality of life in its
community.
Rotary Foundation programs
offer opportunities to form international partnerships that help
people in need worldwide. Some 1.2 million Rotarians in 30,000
clubs in more than 160 countries make significant contributions
to the quality of life at home and around the globe.
Rotary club membership
carries with it certain responsibilities.
- Members are expected
to attend weekly programs of the club. Opportunities to make
up attendance include attending the regular meeting of another
Rotary club, attending various other Rotary meetings, or attending
a club service project authorized by the club board of directors.
- Members are required
to pay annual dues to their clubs, their districts, and to Rotary
International.
- Members are expected
to participate in local or international activities or projects
of the Rotary club.
- Clubs encourage members
to aspire to leadership or committee roles within their clubs.
