  • Where does our Rotary Club
  • fit in the Rotary world?

2
Rotary and our Club
  • Today there are approximately 1.2 million
    Rotarians
  • We have just over 30,000 Rotary Clubs
  • Rotary is in 166 countries around the world
  • These countries are broken down into 529 districts

3
Your Rotary Club
  • Never forget
  • Your Rotary Club is the most essential part of
    the work of Rotary and Rotarians
  • Your Rotary Club serves your community, the world
    and the people
  • Your Rotary Club is Rotary
  • Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation
    cannot exist without Rotary Clubs!

4
A Rotary District
  • A Rotary District is made up of Rotary Clubs
  • Each district is governed by a District Governor
  • Districts have the number of Rotary Clubs
    beneficial to their geographic area. Most are in
    the area of 2,200 Rotarians.

5
Where does the Rotary District fit?
  • Each Rotary District is in a Zone within the
    Rotary world.
  • There are 34 Zones around the world.
  • Each Zone is made up of about 39,000 Rotarians
  • Our Zone is number 24

6
So Far - Here is where we are
  • Your Rotary Club
  • Fits in a Rotary District
  • This District is part of a Rotary Zone

7
Zones are paired together
  • The Zone we are paired with is
  • Zone 23

8
The make up of Zones 23 and 24
  • Zone 23
  • 12 Districts
  • Washington
  • Parts of No California
  • Idaho
  • Nevada
  • Oregon
  • Zone 34
  • 11 Districts
  • Hawaii
  • Central California
  • Southern California
  • Part of Nevada

9
Why are Zones Paired Together?
  • First to make the large Rotary world a bit
    smaller
  • The International Director is selected from
    paired Zones (33 and 34) which makes 17 of the 19
    members of the Board of Directors
  • The Director is alternated between Zones
  • There is a Training Institute annually which
    alternates between the Zones

10
Zone Geographic Sizesand the Board of Directors
  • The United States has six directors on the
    Boardbecause of the number of members
  • Zones 10 and 11 (for example) has Spain, Portugal
    and all of Africa! Whythe number of members.
  • Italy (the entire country) has one Director
  • Japan has two Directors
  • Australia and New Zealand have one Director

11
Paired Zones selects an International Director
  • The Director sits on the Board of Rotary
    International for a two year term
  • The Director alternates between Zones - This
    allows that person to be from various areas of
    the combined Zones
  • Now lets look at the Board of Directors of
    Rotary International

12
The Board of Directors
  • The 19 members of the Board are
  • The 17 elected Directors
  • The President and President-Elect of Rotary
    International
  • The General Secretary (who operates the day to
    day activities of Rotary) sits with the Board but
    is a non-voting member

Director?
