ACCESSIBILITY, CULTURE, BELONGING & ENGAGEMENT (ACBE)

At Rotary, we believe that creating a culture of belonging is essential to who we are. Our strength comes from the connections we build, the respect we show, and the opportunities we create so that everyone can thrive. Belonging, engagement, and accessibility are at the heart of how we grow together and create lasting change.

The ACBE framework highlights four key areas:

  • Accessibility – Identifying and removing barriers so people of all abilities can fully participate in Rotary.

  • Culture – Promoting respectful, collaborative, and positive club environments.

  • Belonging – Ensuring members feel welcomed, valued, and connected.

  • Engagement – Encouraging active participation and strong relationships within our clubs, our district, and across Rotary.

This change represents an evolution in our approach, expanding the focus beyond traditional DEI language to emphasize practical, member-centered priorities that support strong and vibrant Rotary clubs. Our values have not changed and the District 5370 ACBE Pledge is more important than ever:
