Vocational Services

From Grace Kendall: As business leaders, Rotarians share their skills and expertise through vocational service, one of the Four Avenues of Service. Your vocational service efforts can play a vital role in improving the quality of life for those hardworking members of the community who need direction and expertise. By participating in any of a number of vocational service activities ---- mentoring, career days, vocational awards, business assistance, or even talking about your job at a club meeting. Through Vocational Services you can turn your experience into an invaluable resource for others.

When professionals join a Rotary Club, they do so as a representative of their particular business or profession. This gives Rotarians the dual responsibility of representing their vocation within the club and of exemplifying the ideas of Rotary within the workplace".

Vocational Services focuses on:
- Adherence to, and promotion of, the highest ethical standards in all occupations, including fair treatment of employers, employees, associates, competitors, and the public.
- The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, not just your own or those that are pursued by Rotarians.
- The contribution of your vocational talents to the problems and needs of society.
- The values expressed in The 4 Way Test and the Declaration for Rotarians in business and Professions, which promote high ethical standards in the workplace, a central theme of Rotary throughout its history.Please contact Grace Kendall for more information on how you can participate in this valuable service to others.
