New Club Policy

The Rotary Club of Chicago has adopted its first-ever diversity policy to guide development of our membership for the next hundred years. We are now looking for people to help us in targeting areas where our membership is underrepresented. If you are interested, please email Membership Chair David Durham.

“The Rotary Club of Chicago fully embraces diversity and endeavors to develop a membership that is a true reflection of Chicago's business and professional communities.  We are also committed to fostering an environment of inclusion and mutual respect, free from all forms of prejudice and intolerance.”
