What type of Rotarian are You

Are you a Highly Experienced Rotarian?

We’re looking for highly experienced Rotarians coming to the 2012 Melbourne Conference who are willing to share their thoughts on what makes Rotary great, where we can improve, what works, what doesn’t and how we can grow by attracting and retaining a new generation of Rotarians with a similar lasting passion for Rotary.

Are you, or is someone you know a NEW ROTARIAN?

We want to hear from Rotarians who have joined from 2010 about their initial impressions – what is Rotary doing right and what could we do better?

Are you a Woman in Rotary?

We’re inviting you to be part of a Women in Rotary Forum as a participant in the 2012 Melbourne Conference to look at how we can make Rotary more welcoming to women, increase our female membership and make Rotary the top of mind choice for women who want to give back to their community.

Are you a Rotary Alumni?

We want to talk to those who have been through Rotary Programs in the past to hear about how we can re-engage and continue the relationship in the future. Read more
