Rotary in Downtown San Diego is alive and well, thanks to our 100+ enthusiastic and service-minded
members. We are always looking for community-minded professionals to join our ranks, and to have a great time along the way. Membership requirements are pretty straightforward:
- Prospective members must be current or former professionals, executives, or managers.
- Prospective members must have the desire and
ability to serve and to meet
the club's attendance requirements
for its weekly meetings.
- Prospective members must either live, work, or have a connection to the Downtown San Diego area. A person whose business and residence are in communities not served by Rotary would also be welcome to join.
- Prospective members must be willing to have a lot of fun, and give back to the Downtown community which we serve.
Visitors and prospective members are welcome and encouraged to attend the Club. To become an active member, you will need an existing Club member to serve as your sponsor. Not surpisingly, many members are willing to assist and help guide you through the membership process. Our New Member Info document explains the membership process in greater detail.
A person being considered for
membership is invited by a member/sponsor
to attend at least three club meetings
to learn more about Rotary. The
new member and their sponsor may complete the New Member Proposal Form, and then submit that form to the membership
committee to begin the evaluation
process. Others who are interested
in membership, but don't know
any Rotarians, can contact our Membership committee directly.
Membership in a Rotary
club was
based on the founders' paradigm
of choosing one representative
of each business, profession and
institution in the community. What
is called the "classification
principle" is used to ensure
that the members of a club comprise
a cross section of their community's
business and professional life.
A Rotarian's classification
describes either the principal
business or professional service
of the organization that he or
she works for or the individual
Rotarian's own activity within
the organization. The classification
is determined by activities or
services to society rather than
by the position held by the particular
individual. In other words, if
a person is president of a local
bank, he or she is not classified
as "bank president"
but under the classification "banking."
The classification principle fosters
a fellowship for service based
on diversity of interest, and
seeks to prevent the predominance
in the club of any one group.
