Every Rotarian shares the privilege and obligation of seeking qualified Rotary club members. In this way all club members can help their club achieve a full representation of the business and professional life of the community. A full roster of dedicated members enhances fellowship and helps a club carry out its worthwhile service projects. Think about the expertise you can add to your club's overall profile. Every new Rotarian brings a range of personal and professional resources that can greatly strengthen your club's ability to serve throughout the community and the world.
General qualifications: Rotarians are adults of good character and good business or professional reputation, who hold or have held an executive position with discretionary authority in any worthy and recognized business or profession.
Active Membership: Active members must meet the above qualifications, as well as live or work within the club's locality.
Honorary Membership: Includes individuals who have distinguished themselves by meritorious service in the furtherance of Rotary ideals, but are not able to maintain active membership in a club.
Rotary International is one of the world's largest service organizations, with some 29,900 clubs in more than 160 countries. Annually, Rotary clubs worldwide invite a limited number of men and women to become members. These prospective members represent various businesses and professional activities in their communities. As a progressive-minded business or professional person, you will see that belonging to a Rotary club, where outstanding representatives of the different vocations in your community come together, has its benefits.

To be invited, you must be:

  • A leading representative of your business or professional activity
  • Willing to help and participate in projects that enhance your community
  • Willing to work on projects that help people in developing countries and promote international understanding and goodwill

    Rotary clubs provide:

  • Friendships with other managerial and professional leaders in your community
  • Prestige of membership in a worldwide organization
  • Ongoing practical education
  • A networking of people who can help you become more successful
  • Promotion of higher ethical standards in your business or profession
  • Projects to enhance your community
  • Help for communities in countries around the world

    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.

    • 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.
    • An association of some 31,000 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:

    1) hold - or be retired from - a professional, proprietary, executive, or managerial position;

    2) have the capacity to meet the club's weekly attendance or community project participation requirements;

    3) live or work within the locality of the club or the surrounding area.
