The Value of Membership
Rotary provides opportunities to grow personally and professionally — through mentorship, skill building, service projects, travel opportunities, networking, and more.
For over a century, Rotary has united leaders of all ages and experiences, cultures, and professions, to strengthen their communities.
Through regular programs, projects, and neighborhood activities, our members learn about the issues that face our communities and exchange ideas about how to take action to respond to them.
Members also connect through club events, outings, and visits to other Rotary organizations around the globe, giving them unique opportunities to forge personal and professional connections.
What are the Benefits of Membership?
Becoming a Rotary member connects you with a diverse group of professionals who share your drive to give back. Through regular meetings and events, you’ll:
- Discuss your community’s needs and develop creative ways to meet them
- Connect with other leaders who are changing the world
- Expand your leadership and professional skills
- Catch up with good friends and meet new ones
Other Benefits of Membership Include:
- The Rotary International Convention is our biggest event of the year. Rotary members from all over the world meet at the convention each year to celebrate our successes and make plans for the future.
