Ethics discussion question | ||
What would you do? One of your club members, a well-known local business owner and a strong advocate of your club’s service projects, is going through a tough business transition and her financial decisions are adversely affecting many of her clients. As a result, community members are questioning her business integrity and her interest in improving the community. Now, her diminished image is having an impact on your club’s reputation. |

Rotary Fellowships provide vocational networking opportunities | ||
Groups encourage members to pursue interests with Rotary Rotary Fellowships empower their members to pursue their passions and connect with new friends in Rotary from all over the world. They unite members who share a particular vocation or have mutual interests in the same field. While most Rotarians join fellowships to connect with their international professional counterparts, to find an outlet for hobbies, and to meet new friends, the unique service opportunities these groups offer keep their members especially active and engaged in Rotary:
Consider joining one of our 64 fellowships, or form a new group if your vocation isn’t represented by a fellowship. Rotarians, their spouses, and Rotaractors are eligible to join. |
