HOW IS ROTARY ORGANIZED
Rotary International
Rotary
International is the association of Rotary Clubs worldwide. The
administration of RI is managed by officers, directors and committees
from throughout the world. Yearly, RI holds a convention in various
countries to stimulate, inspire and inform all Rotarians at an
international level, to motivate them to develop Rotary at the Club and
District levels.
Districts
Rotary
International groups clubs into districts to make local administration
easier. There are over 500 districts throughout the world, with a range
of between 45-60 clubs each. Each district is led by a Governor, who is
assisted by other officers. The annual District Conference emphasizes
fellowship and a chance to share ideas, as well as a place to conduct
District business. The Elmbrook Rotary Club is part of District 6270. The District Governor this year is Mary Beth Seiser of the Rotary Club of West Bend.
Clubs
There
are over 32,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and
geographical areas. Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to
all cultures, races, and creeds.
Members
Rotary
is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business leaders,
educators, religious leaders, lawmakers, non-profit executives, and
other civic-minded citizens who are interested in making a difference in
the community in which we live.
Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary's main objective is service - in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.
