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.
To learn more about Rotary, visit our "About
Rotary" section of this site.
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. Programs of The Rotary
Foundation offer opportunities to form international
partnerships that help people in need worldwide. More
than 1.2 million Rotarians make significant
contributions to the quality of life at home and around
the globe.

Becoming a Rotarian
An association of nearly 32,000
autonomous clubs in 166 countries, 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 club is to continually expand the club with
committed members who have the interest and ability to
get involved in service and humanitarian projects.
Prospective members must:
| hold — or be retired from — a
professional, proprietary, executive, or managerial
position;
|
| have the capacity to meet the
club's weekly attendance or community project
participation requirements;
|
| live or work within the locality of
the club or the surrounding area. |
The Membership
Process
Often a person being considered for
membership is invited by a member/sponsor to attend one
or more club meetings to learn more about Rotary. The
sponsor may then submit the name of the candidate to the
club's membership committee.
An individual who is interested in
membership but doesn't know any Rotarians can contact
the local club directly. Search the
Club Locator
and
Rotary Web sites
databases to find contact information for clubs. Some
Rotary clubs maintain an office and may be listed in
your telephone directory. Other resources include a
Rotary club in an adjoining community, the local chamber
of commerce, the public library, or other non-profit
service organizations.
Classifications: Professional
Representation
Rotary uses a classification system to
establish and maintain a vibrant cross-section or
representation of the community's business, vocational,
and professional interests among members and to develop
a pool of resources and expertise to successfully
implement service projects. This system is based on the
founders' paradigm of choosing cross-representation of
each business, profession, and institution within a
community.
A classification describes either the
principal business or the professional service of the
organization that the Rotarian works for or the
Rotarian's own activity within the organization. Some
examples of classifications include: high schools,
universities, eye surgery, banking, pharmaceutical
retailing, petroleum-distribution, and insurance agency.
