No worries, contact us and our Membership chair will respond with upcoming meeting dates so they can greet you, sit with you and introduce you to other members. Lunch is on us—we hope you can come!

Annual Membership Requirements

Dues:

Annual dues are $425 (as of July 1, 2022) and include all meals, the member’s ticket to Double Dare and helps cover monthly community service and social budgets. Dues are prorated if a member joins in the middle of a fiscal year. Arrangements can also be made for monthly or quarterly payments if needed.

Attendance:

Members are required to attend at least 60% of meetings and club functions, including at least eight regularly scheduled Rotaract lunch meetings per year.

Greeter:

To engage all Rotaractors, members are required to serve as a greeter during at least one club meeting throughout the year. Responsibilities include arriving early to set-up the check-in table, welcoming members, helping with sign-in sheets and name badges, encouraging members to participate in 50/50 for Great Circle, and helping clean up.

Committees:

Each member is required to serve on Rotaract’s Rock’n Ribs or Double Dare Committee. There is also a small Membership committee made up of co-chairs for those looking for a leadership opportunity or experience prior to serving on the board of directors.

Guests:

Members are asked to bring at least one guest during the fiscal year to help replace members as they turn 30 and to help facilitate growth.

Community Service:

Members are required to attend one “Great Circle event” and one “other” service event offered by the Community Service Chairs during the year. Many members choose to volunteer at significantly more than one event!

"As a young professional, I was looking for an organization I could join to help make a difference in our community. Rotaract is a service-first organization, and using a service- and community-first approach, Rotaract has helped me foster new relationships with future Southwest Missouri leaders. By being connected to Rotary, I’ve been introduced to numerous current community leaders. These relationships grow from a desire to give back, not from a 'what can I sell you' approach, and they’ll last throughout my career. Getting involved with Rotaract has been a monumental boost to my career and personal growth."
