Apply yourself
As part of the family of Rotary, members are invited to lend their professional expertise on committees that support Rotary and TRF. Each year, those committees focus on putting Rotary’s strategic priorities into action, challenging clubs to increase their impact, expand their reach and enhance participant engagement.
Would you like to contribute to Rotary’s success?
RI and the Foundation are searching for qualified Rotarians and Rotaractors to serve on a committee in the 2026–27 Rotary year. These positions offer an opportunity for you to apply your leadership skills, share your vocational experience, and help ensure diverse perspectives within each committee.
Rotarians and Rotaractors with expertise in the areas detailed here are welcome to apply. The number of openings is limited. If you’re not selected, you can apply next year. All committees correspond through email and on virtual platforms, typically with one mandatory in-person meeting a year. Rotaractors are encouraged to apply for any field of expertise based on their background, skills and experience. Dual members are especially welcome to apply.
To be considered for committee membership or to recommend a Rotarian or Rotaractor for an appointment, visit on.rotary. org/application2025.
