Why Join Rotary?
Rotary club members are part of a diverse group of professional leaders working to address various community and international service needs. Through community service and other means, Rotary club members help promote peace and understanding throughout the world. Our members are our most important asset. They are the force that allows Rotary to carry out its many humanitarian efforts and achieve its mission.
Each Rotary club strives for a membership that is an up-to-date and progressive representation of its community’s business, vocational, and professional interests. Membership in Rotary 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
Rotary membership is by invitation of local clubs. If you would like to be considered for membership by a local Rotary club, complete a Prospective Member Contact Form. RI will forward your information to clubs in your area.
Looking for ideas to improve your membership development strategies? RI is pleased to host the Membership Development Best Practices Exchange. The searchable database contains club and district strategies about recruitment, communication, new member orientation, diversity, public relations, attendance, retention, and continuing member education.
