Becoming
a Member - How to Join
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.
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.

Rotary page or contact a Rotarian directly by visiting
