Rotarians are business and professional leaders who take an active role in their communities while greatly enriching their personal and professional lives. All Rotary Clubs contain a diverse group of professionals and foster friendship, business exchange, international exchange, and civic engagement in their community and beyond. Through Rotary’s service programs, a Rotary Club can have a significant effect on the quality of life in its community. Rotary Foundation programs offer opportunities to form international partnerships that help people in need worldwide. Some 1.2 million Rotarians in 30,000 clubs in more than 160 countries make significant contributions to the quality of life at home and around the globe.
