MEMBERSHIP
Why growing membership is so important
One of the most important things your club can do is nurture and sustainably grow your membership. Surveys have shown that prospective members are attracted to our clubs that offer them flexible formats. It’s also critical to encourage participation by offering people service projects that create lasting change in their communities. See some of the ways that clubs are being innovative and watch this video about the importance of providing a variety of formats for potential members.

Rotary Representative Network helps us succeed globally
Rotary shares a humanitarian mission with the United Nations to advance peace and improve the lives of those most in need. Helping Rotary strengthen this connection is the Rotary Representative Network — volunteers who are appointed annually by the RI president to represent Rotary to the United Nations, its specialized agencies, and other international institutions. The network advocates for polio eradication and other humanitarian issues. Members of the Rotary Representative Network also serve as the lead organizers of Rotary Day at the United Nations.
