About Rotary - What Is
Rotary?
Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united
worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical
standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the
world. In more than 160 countries worldwide, approximately 1.2 million
Rotarians belong to more than 30,000 Rotary clubs.
Rotary club membership represents a cross-section of the community's
business and professional men and women. The world's Rotary clubs meet
weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures,
races, and creeds.
The main objective of Rotary is service — in the community, in the
workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service
projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as
children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and
violence. They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities
and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other
professionals, and vocational and career development. The Rotary motto is
Service Above Self.
Although Rotary clubs develop
autonomous service programs, all Rotarians worldwide are united in a
campaign for the global eradication of polio. In the 1980s, Rotarians
raised US$240 million to immunize the children of the world; by 2005,
Rotary's centenary year and the target date for the certification of a
polio-free world, the PolioPlus program will have contributed US$500
million to this cause. In addition, Rotary has provided an army of
volunteers to promote and assist at national immunization days in
polio-endemic countries around the world.
Becoming a Member
Thank you for your interest in
becoming a Rotarian. Rotary International is an association of individual
clubs, with each club operating autonomously. Membership is extremely
important to us, and we are always eager to hear from individuals
interested in our mission and in joining a Rotary club. The RI universal
premise is that the membership of each club constitutes an accurate
representation of the business and professional population within the
community served.
Membership in a Rotary club requires available business or professional
classification opportunities as well as an invitation and sponsorship by a
member of the club. Sometimes an individual cannot be invited or sponsored
for membership.
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
advancing business and professional contacts
developing leadership skills
gaining an understanding of — and having an impact on — international
humanitarian issues
Through Rotary International'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.
