Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. Our mission is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
The world today is not the same as it was when Rotary was founded in 1905. Demographics have shifted, the pace of change has accelerated, and technology has created new opportunities for connection and service. What hasn’t changed is a need for the values that define Rotary: FELLOWSHIP; INTEGRITY; DIVERSITY; SERVICE; LEADERSHIP.
As a Rotarian, I will:
-
Act with integrity and high ethical standards in my personal and professional life.
-
Deal fairly with others and treat them and their occupations with respect.
-
Use my professional skills through Rotary to: mentor young people; help those with special needs; improve people's quality of life in my community and in the world.
-
Avoid behavior that reflects adversely on Rotary or other Rotarians.
-
Help maintain a harassment free environment in Rotary meetings, events, and activities, report any suspected harassment, and help ensure non-retaliation to those individuals that report harassment.
Of what we think, say, or do:
FIRST: Is it the TRUTH?
SECOND: Is it FAIR to All Concerned?
THIRD: Will it build GOODWILL and Better Friendships?
FOURTH: Will it be BENEFICIAL to All Concerned?
SERVICE ABOVE SELF
