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.
• Developing leadership skills
• Gaining an understanding of, and having an impact on international humanitarian issues.
• Developing relationships with community and business leaders.
 

Through Rotary'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.

Rotary's rich history and the organization's mission and structure have all worked to promote literacy, provide disaster relief, support Rotary's global effort to eradicate polio and address other critical community and world issues.

 

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MEMBERSHIP:

Rotary club membership carries with it certain responsibilities.

• Members are expected to attend weekly programs of the club. Opportunities to make up attendance include attending the regular meeting of another Rotary club, attending various other Rotary meetings, or attending a club service project   authorized by the club board of directors.

• Members are required to pay annual dues to their clubs, their districts, and to Rotary International.

• Members are expected to participate in local or international activities or projects of the Rotary club.

• Clubs encourage members to aspire to leadership or committee roles within their clubs.

 
Becoming a Rotarian :

Rotary International is one of the world's largest service organizations. The goal for a club's membership is an up-to-date and progressive representation of the community's business, vocational, and professional interests.

An important distinction between Rotary and other organizations is that membership in Rotary is by invitation. Rotary clubs invite individuals to join and become members.

Membership is vital to a Rotary club's operations and community service activities. A primary goal of the each club is to continually expand the club.
