Prospective Members | Becoming A Rotarian Propose A New Member | Directory of Officers and Chairpersons
How To Propose A New Member Every Rotarian shares the responsibility of seeking qualified members for unfilled classifications. In this way all club members can help their clubs achieve a full representation of the business and professional life of the community.
If you are an active member of a Rotary club in good standing and know someone suited to Rotary, then consider referring them for membership in your club or for membership in another Rotary club. Once you have identified a good candidate, print out and complete the pdf form below and present it to your club secretary.
The basic procedure by which individuals are proposed for and elected to membership in a Rotary club is:
Article XI Method of Electing Members Section 1 - The name of a prospective member, proposed by an active member of the club, shall be submitted to the board in writing, through the club secretary. A transferring or former member of another club may be proposed to active membership by the former club. The proposal for the time being shall be kept confidential except as otherwise provided in this procedure. Section 2 - The board shall ensure that the proposal meets all the classification and membership requirements of the club constitution. Section 3 - The board shall ensure that the proposal meets all the classification and membership requirements of the club constitution. Section 4 - If the decision of the board is favorable, the prospective member shall be informed of the purposes of Rotary and of the privileges and responsibilities of membership, following which the prospective member shall be requested to sign the membership proposal form and to permit his or her name and proposed classification to be published to the club. Section 5 - If no written objection to the proposal, stating reasons, is received by the board from any member (other than honorary) of the club within seven (7) days following publication of information about the prospective member, that person, upon payment of the admission fee (if not honorary membership), as prescribed in these bylaws, shall be considered to be elected to membership. If any such objection has been filed with the board, it shall vote on this matter at it's next meeting. If approved despite the objection, the proposed member, upon payment of the admission fee (if not honorary membership), shall be considered to be elected to membership. Section 6 - Following the election, the president shall arrange for the induction of the new member; the club secretary shall issue a membership card and shall report the new member to RI; and the Rotary information committee shall provide appropriate literature for presentation at the induction and assign a member to assist in the assimilation of the new member.
