Our Guiding Principles
The Four-Way Test
This test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following questions:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it bring GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Rotarian Values
Our core values are reflected in our Mission 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.
Leadership
We 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.
Service Above Self
We believe in service activities and programs bring about greater world understanding and peace. Through the plans and actions of individual clubs, we create a culture of service throughout our organization that provides unparalleled satisfaction for those who serve.
Fellowship
We believe that individual efforts focus on individual needs, but combined efforts serve humanity. The power of combined efforts knows no limitation. Fellowship leads to tolerance and transcends boundaries. We organize frequent opportunities to socialize and stay connected.
Diversity of Lived Experience
Rotary unifies all people behind the ideal of service. We encourage diversity of vocations and of lived experiences among our members, as well as a diverse range of activities and service projects. A club that reflects the business and professional make-up of its own community is a club with a bright future.
Integrity
We expect accountability from our leaders and members, both in the results of our efforts and in the processes we employ. We adhere to high ethical in our work and personal relationships. We are fair and respectful in our interactions, and we conscientiously steward the resources entrusted to us.
