Impact starts with our members — people like you who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
At club meetings in communities across the globe, our people of action come together to strengthen their connections to friends and neighbors and their commitment to improving lives.
The Director - Membership supports clubs by promoting recruitment of new members and retention of existing members. The role is also active in the investigation and establishment of new clubs on behalf of the District Governor.
DIRECTOR: Belinda Jefferies Hobart
Who can join?
We’re looking for people who want to give back to their communities.
Rotary clubs also welcome Rotaractors, Rotary Peace Fellows, and other members of the family of Rotary who qualify for membership.
How can I become a member?
Clubs accept new members by invitation. To help us find the right club for you, we’ll ask you a few questions about yourself and your interests. Then we’ll share your answers with Rotary leaders in your community who will match you with a club.
What are the benefits?
Becoming a Rotary member connects you with a diverse group of professionals who share your drive to give back. Through regular meetings and events, you’ll:
Discuss your community’s needs and develop creative ways to meet them
Connect with other leaders who are changing the world
Expand your leadership and professional skills
Catch up with good friends and meet new ones
