Global Networking Groups

Last year significant organizational changes occurred in Rotary Fellowships. Groups organized by Rotarians for the purpose of supporting service activities are now categorized as Rotarian Action Groups. Rotary Fellowships have returned to their original focus on vocational or recreational interests. Collectively, these two group categories are known as Global Networking Groups. As of 1 July 2006, there are 95 active Global Networking Groups: 86 Rotary Fellowships and 9 Rotarian Action Groups.

Global Networking Groups offer unique opportunities for Rotarians to develop friendship and international understanding, and to support the Object of Rotary. When Rotarians join one of these groups they will be able to explore new opportunities for fellowship and service. Rotarians who are involved in Global Networking Groups become more active with Rotary beyond the club level, and have a positive impact on membership retention. Simultaneously enhancing Rotarians’ experience in Rotary and improving Rotary’s capacity to serve the world, Global Networking Groups are truly beneficial to everyone.

So take a look at the 'Global Networking Group Directory' and consider joining one or more of the groups.
