Joining Rotary FAQ 

How do I become a member of Rotary?
A person being considered for membership is invited by a club member, or sponsor, to attend one or more club meetings to learn more about Rotary. In this case, the sponsor submits the name of the candidate to the club's membership committee.

Please note that membership in a Rotary club is at the discretion of each club and by invitation only.

What are the qualifications for membership?
Prospective members must:

• Hold (or be retired from) a professional, proprietary, executive, or managerial position
• Be able to meet the club's weekly attendance or community project participation requirements
• Live or work within the vicinity of the club or the surrounding area
  

What are the responsibilities of membership?
Members are expected to attend weekly club meetings. Members must pay their club dues. Members are expected to participate in local or international activities or projects of the Rotary club. We encourage members to aspire to leadership or committee roles within their clubs.

What are the attendance requirements?
An attendance record of 60 percent is required to remain an active Rotarian. Any missed meeting should be made up within 14 days before or after the regular meeting. To accommodate busy schedules, there are various opportunities to make up missed meetings.
