| | Rotary 4 Way Test was devised by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor in 1932 and it was adopted by Rotary in 1943. It has been translated into more than a hundred languages and widely published. The test asks the following questions: Of the things we think, say and do:
Is it the Truth Is it Fair to all concerned Will it build Goodwill and Better Relationships? Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?
Diversity and Rotary Rotary International recognises the value of diversity within individual clubs. Rotary encourages clubs to assess those in their communities who are eligible for membership, under existing membership guidelines, and to endeavour to include appropriate range of individuals in their clubs. A club that reflects its community with regard to professional and business classifications, gender,age, religion, and ethnicity is a club with the key to its future. |
