Frequently Asked Questions
A prospective member must be a person of good character with a good business, professional, or community reputation and also be one of the following:
- A current or former professional, proprietor, executive, manager, or community leader
- Committed to service with a record of personal involvement
- A Rotary Foundation alumnus
Members are expected to make their best effort to attend club meetings and participate in the club events, activities, committees, service work and project planning. They must pay annual dues to the Club. The Club encourages members to aspire to club leadership or committee roles.
For a long time, 50 percent attendance at club meetings has been required to remain an active Rotarian.
However, to accommodate busy schedules, there are many opportunities to make up those missed meetings, and members are encouraged to take part in the numerous club community service events, committee meetings and social functions that happen throughout the year.
There are also training opportunities and you always can attend meetings at other clubs in addition to your home club.
There is even the option to "attend" an online meeting with various e-clubs. These days, the emphasis is on engagement rather than strict attendance policies.
There is no minimum age to join Rotary. You may be invited to join at any age after you become established in a career and have the time and financial resources to meet all Rotary Club membership requirements.
If you’re interested in joining, ask members about the time and financial commitments necessary to fulfill membership requirements, and consider whether you can make those commitments.
No. Rotarians have achieved a level of career experience that enables them to bring a specialization to their club, and students haven’t yet reached a level in their professional and personal lives that allows them to fulfill all aspects of Rotary club membership.
But undergraduate and graduate students, as well as young adults not in University or College, may become members of Rotaract clubs.
