4-WAY TEST AND VOCATIONAL SERVICE
Paul Harris had integrity in mind when he started Rotary with that small club in Chicago 118 years ago. Let’s live up to the Rotary core value of INTEGRITY by using the 4-way test in our interactions with colleagues, employees, clients, and customers, in our workplaces. The 4-way test also applies to those of us who are retired but still engaged with our clubs, families, and communities.
Truth, fairness, goodwill, and beneficial relationships for all are essential for our happiness, a just and civil society, and the furtherance of good in the world.
