Benefits of Rotary
Rotary International is an opportunity to build lifelong
friendships and experience the personal fulfillment of providing
volunteer service to others. Here are 10 important benefits of
Rotary membership…
- Professional
Networking: Rotary is a forum for community leaders,
with its members holding key positions in business, industry, the
professions, the arts, government and religion. They make decisions,
influence policies and take actions that shape our community and beyond.
- The Opportunity to
Serve: Rotarians provide service at both the community and
international levels. Service programs address health care needs, hunger and
poverty, illiteracy, disaster relief and environmental cleanups, to name a
few. Members experience the fulfillment that comes from giving back to the
community.
- Personal Growth and
Development: Membership in Rotary ensures continuing personal
and professional development. Leadership, public speaking and communication,
organization and planning, team-building, fundraising, and teaching are just
a sampling of the skills that can be exercised and enhanced through Rotary.
- Friendship: Fellowship was a primary
reason Rotary was started in 1905, and it remains a major attraction. With more
than 30,000 Rotary clubs in over 160 countries, Rotarians have friends wherever
they go. Rotary helps to build community as well as enduring friendships.
