Responsibilities of Membership

Rotary club membership carries with it certain responsibilities.

• Members are expected to attend weekly programs of the club. Opportunities to make up attendance include attending the regular meeting of another Rotary club, attending various other Rotary meetings, or attending a club service project authorized by the club board of directors.
• Members are required to pay annual dues to their clubs, their districts, and to Rotary International.
• Members are expected to participate in local or international activities or projects of the Rotary club.
• Clubs encourage members to aspire to leadership or committee roles within their clubs.

Membership is vital to a Rotary club's operations and community service activities. A primary goal of the club is to continually expand the club with committed members who have the interest and ability to get involved in service and humanitarian projects. Prospective members must:

• hold — or be retired from — a professional, proprietary, executive, or managerial position;
• have the capacity to meet the club's weekly attendance or community project participation requirements;
• live or work within the locality of the club or the surrounding area.
