Minneapolis South Rotary - Becoming a Member

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Rotarian. Rotary International is an association of individual clubs, with each club operating autonomously. Membership is extremely important to us, and we are always eager to hear from individuals interested in our mission and in joining a Rotary club. The RI universal premise is that the membership of each club constitutes an accurate representation of the business and professional population within the community served. Membership in a Rotary club requires available business or professional classification opportunities as well as an invitation and sponsorship by a member of the club. Sometimes an individual cannot be invited or sponsored for membership.

Rotarians are business and professional leaders who take an active role in their communities while greatly enriching their personal and professional lives. A Rotary club contains a diverse group of professional leaders from the community that the club serves.

Membership in Rotary provides:

COMMUNITY CITIZENSHIP
Rotarians of the Twin Cities are some of the most active citizens in our community.

BUSINESS AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT
Networking opportunities from a cross section of the city's business and professional leadership.

FRIENDSHIP
The company and fellowship of others who share common interests and concerns.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Apply and build your leadership skills to the benefit of the community.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
Access to prominent guest speakers and newsmakers with perspectives on a broad spectrum of topics and issues.
