Do you know a friend, family member, or colleague from your business or profession who has all the qualities of a good Rotarian? If you do, then consider proposing them for membership in your club or referring them for membership in another Rotary club. Every Rotarian has the privilege and obligation of seeking qualified Rotary club members. In this way, all Rotarians can help clubs 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 implement successful service projects. Every new Rotarian brings a range of personal and professional resources that can greatly strengthen his/her club's ability to serve its own community and communities internationally. Active membership : 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. 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. Once you have identified a good candidate, contact your Club secretary. Rotary International is an association of individual clubs that operate autonomously. Membership is extremely important to us, and we are always eager to hear from individuals interested in our mission and joining a Rotary club. Our universal premise is that each club's membership constitutes an accurate representation of the business and professional population within the community served. Membership in a Rotary club requires an invitation and sponsorship by a member of the club as well as an available business or professional classification. Sometimes an individual cannot be invited or sponsored for membership.
