Advance Rotary’s public image and identity

ORGANIZATION
-
Function independently of Rotary International by establishing their own rules, dues requirements, and administrative structure.

STARTING A NEW FELLOWSHIP
If your recreational or vocational interest isn’t represented by Rotary’s current Fellowships:
-
Join a discussion group or start a new one on My Rotary. It’s a great way to share your interest with other members.
-
Use Rotary’s presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to promote your idea.
-
Attend the Rotary International Convention or other Rotary events to network and find others that share your interest.
