Rotary Fellowships

Posted by Bob Crouch on Feb 15, 2017
 
Rotary Fellowships are groups of Rotarians, Rotarian spouses, and Rotaractors who join together to:
  • Share a common interest in worthwhile recreational activities (sports, hobbies, etc.)   
  • Further their vocational development through acquaintance with others of the same profession 
  • Make new friends around the world 
  • Explore new opportunities for service
  • Have fun and enhance their experience in Rotary
  • Plus, they’re a great way to recruit new Rotarians!
Examples of Rotary Fellowships:
  • Marathon runners
  • Wine Appreciation
  • Flying
  • Recreational Vehicles
  • Fishing
  • And many more!
How Rotary Fellowships Operate:
  • Each fellowship is operated independently of Rotary International, with its own rules, dues requirements, and administrative structure. 
  • Membership in fellowships is open to Rotarians, spouses of Rotarians, and Rotaractors, but they can invite guests / potential Rotarians for recruiting purposes
  • Fellowships (at the RI level) must be international in nature with active members in at least three countries. 
  • Each fellowship elects at least three officers to oversee the group’s administration. • Fellowships are expected to facilitate communication among their members and maintain regular communication with RI.
Some Benefits of Rotary Fellowships:
  • Opportunities for Rotarians to make lasting friendships outside of their own club, district, or country. 
  • Contribute to the advancement of world understanding and peace.
  • Serve as an incentive for attracting new members to Rotary and retaining existing ones
