ROTARY INTERNATIONAL

The purpose of Rotary International (R.I.) is to encourage, promote, extend and supervise Rotary throughout the world. The administrative body of R.I. is a Board of Directors consisting of 17 members. The President of R.I. is the Chairperson. The President Elect is also a member of the Board. Every Club in the world pays per capita dues to R.I., half of the dues on July 1 and half on January 1. These dues cover the operating expenses of R.I. Headquarters and nine branch offices.

Headquarters and the branches provide a great many services to the Clubs. The Secretariat staff are very helpful and can provide books, pamphlets, brochures, and leaflets to assist Clubs, Committees and individual Rotarians. Many of these are free for the asking or are available at a modest price.

A Club may be disciplined or have its Charter revoked by the R.I. Board of Directors for non-payment of the annual dues or if it fails to function or does not reorganize and become an active Club within a given period of time.

While R.I. arranges for a gives general direction for the annual International Convention, the program and detailed operation of the convention is carried out by the Host Club.
