About Rotary International
Rotary is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
There are over 32,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.
Longtime Rotarians agree that involvement is key to getting the
most out of membership. Volunteer to serve on a committee that
meets your interests, to be a greeter for weekly club meetings,
or to join a service project team. These activities will help
you get to know your fellow club members and better understand
the work of Rotary.
