Weekly Program - Classifications - Week of October 7
Janie
Part of the Diversity and Rotary commitment is to reflect a club's community with regard to professional and business classification. Additional the second Object of Rotary is "High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society."
When professionals join a Rotary club, they do so as a representative of their classification – their particular business or profession.
Rotarians have the dual responsibility of representing their vocation within the club and exemplifying the ideals of Rotary within the workplace.
