Becoming a member of Rotary International is done via an invitation from a current member. Once a member has invited you to experience Rotary, there are several milestones on the road to becoming a member, including:

​

• A current member (in good standing) must submit the prospective member's name to the club's Board Of Directors for approval.
   

• A proposed member's character and reputation must be above reproach.
   

• The reputation of the proposed's firm in the general community shall be the very best.
   

• The proposed shall be able to meet promptly the financial obligations of membership.
   

• The proposed should be able to attend regular weekly meetings and other Rotary functions.
   

• The Board of Directors reviews and approves proposed members.
   

• The proposed candidates's name is proposed to the general club membership for approval.
   

• Any objections are reviewed by the Board.
   

• The proposed candidate and sponsoring member attend an introductory meeting where all discuss Rotary and the obligations of being a Rotarian.
   

• Following the introductory meeting, a new member pays initial dues, and the candidate will be introduced to the club as a new Rotarian.
