Thank you for your interest in becoming a Rotarian. Rotary International is an association
of individual clubs that operate autonomously. Membership is extremely important to us,
and we are always eager to hear from individuals interested in our mission and joining the San
Marcos Rotary Club.
The universal premise is that each club's membership constitutes an accurate representation
of the business and professional population within the community served. Membership in a
Rotary club requires an invitation and sponsorship by a member of the club as well as an
available business or professional classification. For more details, please visit
Becoming a Rotarian and
Responsibilities of Membership.
Becoming a Rotarian
An association of some 31,000 autonomous clubs in 166 countries, Rotary International is one
of the world's largest service organizations. The goal for a club's membership is an
up-to-date and progressive representation of the community's business, vocational, and
professional interests.
An important distinction between Rotary and other organizations is that membership in Rotary
is by invitation. Rotary clubs invite individuals to join and become members.
Membership is vital to a Rotary club's operations and community service activities. A
primary goal of the club is to continually expand the club with committed members who have
the interest and ability to get involved in service and humanitarian projects. Prospective
members must:
- Hold — or be retired from — a professional, proprietary, executive,
or managerial position;
- Have the capacity to meet the club's weekly attendance or community
project participation requirements;
- Live or work within the locality of the club or the surrounding area.
Information for Prospective Members
Rotarians are business and professional leaders who take an active role in their communities
while greatly enriching their personal and professional lives. A Rotary club contains
a diverse group of professional leaders from the community that the club serves.
Membership in a Rotary club offers a number of benefits, including:
- Effecting change within the community.
- Developing leadership skills.
- Gaining an understanding of — and having an impact on — international
humanitarian issues.
- Developing relationships with community and business leaders.
