Rotarians are business and professional leaders who take an active role
in their communities while greatly enriching their personal and
professional lives. A Rotary club contains a diverse group of
professional leaders from the community that the club serves. Thank you for your interest in joining a Rotary club. Increasing membership is vital to a Rotary club's operations and community service activities. Clubs seek individuals who have the interest and ability to get involved in humanitarian projects. |

| Membership invitations are also based on the classification principle, which helps ensure a cross-representation of the businesses and professions within the community. A classification describes either the principal business or professional service of the organization that the Rotarian works for, or the Rotarian's own activity within the organization.
