We’re proud of our history and traditions, but Rotary is also responsive to new ideas that will help us establish the innovative culture necessary for Rotary to thrive. Each club offers a unique experience, with different meeting formats and club models. Each club’s prospective members decide which kind of club would be best. And if yours is an already established club, consider reviewing your bylaws to see if changes would enhance your club experience and better serve your community. Just some of the possibilities:
- Corporate: a club whose members work for the same employer.
- Interest-based: a club that focuses on a particular interest or hobby.
- Cause-based: a club that focuses its service efforts in a particular area/cause.
- Service-based: a club that meets periodically for service projects, social events, or fundraisers.
- Rotary alum-based: a club with a majority of members who are former Rotary program participants.
