VALUES DRIVE BEHAVIOR

Our values as Rotarians are rooted in guiding principles that have always defined Rotary Grand Rapids.

Members don’t just sit on the sidelines, there is true value in becoming a Rotarian:

  • We build fellowship – we gain lifelong relationships
  • We learn and grow professionally – we support and respect our multi-generational and multi-talented members
  • We practice ethics and integrity – we honor our commitments
  • We embrace diversity – we connect diverse perspectives
  • We share our vocational expertise, service and leadership – we apply what we know and do to help solve social issues and provide community service

OUR COMMITMENT TO INCLUSION, DIVERSITY, EQUITY & ACCESSIBILITY

A top priority for Rotary is growing and diversifying our membership to ensure we reflect the communities we serve and are inclusive of all cultures, experiences, and identities. We’re creating an organization that is more open and inclusive, fair to all, builds goodwill, and benefits our communities.

Rotary will cultivate an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible culture in which all people have greater opportunities to participate as members and leaders.
