| Question : How can I become a Rotarian? |
Answer : 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. |
|
| Question : I don't know any Rotarians - does that mean I cannot become a Rotarian? |
Answer : You can be considered for membership even if you don't know any Rotarians.
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.
