Thank you for your interest in becoming a Rotarian.
Rotary
International is an association of individual clubs, with each club
operating autonomously. Membership is extremely important to us, and we are
always eager to hear from individuals interested in our mission and in joining a
Rotary club. The RI universal premise is that the membership of each club
constitutes an accurate representation of the business and professional
population within the community served.
Membership in a Rotary club requires available business or
professional classification opportunities as well as an invitation and
sponsorship by a member of the club. Sometimes an individual cannot be invited
or sponsored for membership.
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 International'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.
