Rotary International is one of the world's largest service organizations, with some 29,500    clubs in more than 160 countries. Annually, Rotary clubs worldwide invite a limited number of men and women to become members. These prospective members represent various businesses and professional activities in their communities.

• A leading representative of your business or professional activity

• Willing to work on projects that help people in developing countries and promote international understanding and goodwill

Rotary clubs provide:

• Ongoing practical education
• A networking of people who can help you become more successful
• Promotion of higher ethical standards in your business or profession
• Projects to enhance your community
• Help for communities in countries around the world

This is part of the internationalism of Rotary International - a service organisation which exists in more than 160 countries represented by 29,000 Clubs and 1.2 million members.
