Membership Process and General Information

Membership
We hope you will join us at the Ottawa Rotary Club.  Clubs are the heart of Rotary and being an active member of a Rotary Club has a number of advantages, including:
 
  • membership in a global organization of 1.4 million persons in 200 countries dedicated to assisting and supporting community, national and international needs and activities;
  • leadership opportunities to chair committees, manage projects, and give presentations to organizations and club members;
  • increased awareness of your community and its leaders through association with Rotary and the many programs the Ottawa club supports; 
  • participation opportunities with Rotary hands-on projects; and
  • access to the global Rotary network of Rotary clubs, partner organizations and charities.
 
Other benefits of membership include:
 
The Rotary International Convention is our biggest event of the year. Rotary members from more than 130 countries meet at the convention each year to celebrate our successes and make plans for the future.
 
Rotary Fellowships give members the chance to join a group of people who share similar interests, hobbies, or vocations. Some groups use their fellowship to make a positive difference.
 
Rotarian Action Groups unite Rotary members, family members, program participants and alumni who share their expertise in particular fields by collaborating with clubs and districts on projects.
 
Qualified candidates for Rotary club membership are adults of good character and business, professional, or community reputation. 
 
Depending on your circumstances, you may want to join the Rotary Club of Ottawa as an Individual, an Individual under 40, as a family, or with a corporate membership.
