Posted

The 2016 Rotary International Council on Legislation granted clubs more freedom in determining their meeting schedule and membership:
- Clubs may decide to vary their meeting times, may meet online or in person, and may decide when to cancel a meeting, as long as they meet at least twice a month.
- Clubs have flexibility in choosing their membership rules and requirements.
- The six membership criteria was removed and replaced with a simple requirement that a member be a person of good character who has a good reputation in their business or community and is willing to serve the community.
- Clubs may offer additional membership types such as associate, corporate, family membership or others.
