Aimed at connecting business and professional leaders, Rotary International is a membership organization that is committed to service, the development of better relationships and the advancement of the community. People who become members are expected to adhere to a strict standard of personal and professional ethics, as the duty of service is perceived as taking precedence over self. Because this organization is a secular one, it does not discriminate based upon age, religion, gender or race.
One can contact a Rotary club to inquire about membership but can only join a Rotary club only if invited. Currently, however, all interested parties with something of value to contribute can apply for membership. Rotary is a non-partisan, non-sectarian organization. It is open to business and professional leaders aged 18 and upwards, with no regard to economic status.
There are currently more than 1.2 million Rotarian's across the world. People who are a part of these clubs frequently attend social functions, which are typically held on a weekly basis. These are usually simple lunches, dinners or breakfast meetings at which activities and goals for the club are reviewed. These events can take place in public venues but they are more commonly held at lodges. Rotarian's offer scholarships and exchanges, programs to promote literacy and many other activities and resources for enriching the community.
In all professional and commercial endeavors, Rotarian's value strong ethical and moral standards. They intend this to help promote health and further peace. They additionally value professions that supply supply value to the community.
Promoting increased international understanding is something else that Rotarian's do as well as increased unity and peace. They can do this through their massive, worldwide networks of professionals who hold memberships in different organization chapters. Each member is expected to hold the same service ideals.
Evanston, Illinois is home to the Rotary International headquarters. This group was found in 1905 and presently has numerous branches in various countries across the globe and many official languages. The club founder was Paul P. Harris.
