Becoming a member

• You have to be sponsored for membership by an existing member.

• The prospective member must be personally and actively engaged in a business or profession and must have his or her place of business or residence within the Club’s territory or within the territorial limits of an immediately adjoining Club..

• The prospect’s name is submitted to the board.

• The board, upon satisfactory report by the Club’s classification and membership committee, approves the proposal and the proposer is notified by the Club Secretary. (NOTE: Until this approval is granted the prospect should not be informed that he or she has been proposed.)

• The sponsor and members of Rotary information committee inform the prospect of privileges and responsibilities of Rotary Club membership, ask him or her to complete an application card, and secure permission to publish his or her name and proposed classification to the Club.

• Prospect’s name is presented to the Club. If no objections are received by the board within ten days following the publication of the prospect’s name, the prospect, upon payment of the admission fee, is considered to be elected to membership and have his or her name reported to the R. I. General Secretary.

• You are inducted into Rotary during a meeting and have the full rights and privileges as a Rotarian.
