How Rotary is Organized
Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. In more than 160 counties worldwide, approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 30,000
Rotary clubs.
Rotary club represents a cross-section of the community’s business and professional men
and women. The world’s Rotary clubs meet weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.
The main objective of Rotary is service—in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects and address many of today’s most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. They also support programs for youth, education opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers and other professionals, and vocational and career development. The Rotary motto is Service above Self.
