Rotary Membership

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Rotarian.

Rotary International is an association of individual clubs 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 Rotary International 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. 

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:

• affect change within the community
• advance business and professional contacts
• develop leadership skills
• gain 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.
