11. OUR CORE VALUES
11
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.
Service
We 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.
Fellowship
We 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.
Diversity
We 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.
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.
Integrity
We 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 the
resources entrusted
to us.
