As members of the family of Rotary, we are people of purpose, people of influence, and people of action. Each year, committees that support Rotary and The Rotary Foundation focus on putting Rotary’s strategic priorities into action, challenging us to increase our impact, expand our reach, enhance participant engagement, and increase our ability to adapt.

Would you like to contribute to Rotary’s success?

The following committees are searching for qualified Rotarians and Rotaractors to serve as members and apply their leadership skills to advance our organization. Although the number of openings are limited, they offer an opportunity for you to share your vocational expertise and help ensure diverse perspectives within each committee. 

All committees correspond via email and on virtual platforms, and some involve at least one mandatory in-person meeting per year. Dual members of both Rotary and Rotaract are especially encouraged to apply.

To be considered for committee membership or recommend someone for an appointment, visit on.rotary.org/application2022.
