OUR CORE VALUES

11

All of these core values are reflected in the Object of Rotary and the Four-Way Test, which we use in our daily lives. They inspire us to foster and support the ideal of service for developing and maintaining integrity in human relations.

Service

We believe that our serviceactivities and programs bring about

greater world understanding and peace. Service is a major element of our mission.

Through our plans and actions, we create a culture of service throughout our Club that provides unparalleled

satisfaction for those who serve.

Fellowship

We believe that individual effortsfocus on individual needs, but combined

efforts serve humanity. The power of combined efforts knows no limitation, multiplies resources, and broadens our lives and perspectives. Fellowship leads

to tolerance and transcends racial, national,

and other boundaries.

Diversity

We believe Rotary unifies allpeople internationally behind the ideal of service. We encourage diversity of

vocations within our membership and in our activities and service work. We

reflect our business and multi-sectoral professional community.

Leadership

We are a global fellowship ofindividuals who are leaders in their

fields of endeavor. We believe in the importance of leadership development and in leadership as a quality of our

members. As Rotarians, we are leaders in implementing our core values.

Integrity

We are committed to and expect accountability from our leaders and fellow members, both in the results of our efforts and in the processes we use to accomplish

our goals. We adhere to high ethical and professional standards in our work and personal relationships. We are fair and respectful in our interactions, and we

conscientiously steward theresources entrusted

to us.

“Engage extraordinary people in fostering a

culture of social responsibility and

making a community impact”

Making community projects and services happen, close to home

and around the world
