OUR DRAFT MISSION

OUR CORE VALUES

9

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.

ServiceWe believe that our service

activities 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.

FellowshipWe believe that individual efforts

focus 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.

DiversityWe believe Rotary unifies all

people 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.

LeadershipWe are a global fellowship of

individuals 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.

IntegrityWe 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.
