Rotary International PresidentRon BurtonMessage for October 2013

Working to serve society

In Rotary, October is the month we set aside to remind ourselves of our second Avenue of Service: vocational

service. While some Rotarians call this the forgotten area of service, I would disagree: In fact, vocational

service is the avenue through which we serve so often we dont always recognise it as service.

Vocational service has its roots in the second object of Rotary, which encourages all Rotarians to hold high

ethical standards in our business affairs and our professions, to recognise all useful occupations as worthy of

respect, and to dignify work as an opportunity to serve society.

In short, the idea of vocational service is that our jobs, in themselves, are a way of serving society. Whether we

are serving customers, teaching students, or treating patients, whether were involved in commerce, research,

the media, or any one of countless other fields we take pride in doing our work with competence and integrity.

Every occupation fills a need, and by doing our work well we are contributing to our communities and our

society.

The role of vocational service in the club is important, even if it isnt always prominent. By maintaining high

standards individually, we earn a reputation that we share collectively. By valuing all occupations equally and by

maintaining a classification system in our clubs, we ensure that our clubs reflect our communities and can

serve them well. A Rotary club of all lawyers wouldnt be capable of nearly as much as one that also had

teachers, engineers, business owners and dentists; in Rotary, our diversity is our strength. That diversity is an

advantage not only to our service, but to our members: It gives us all a valuable way to find the connections and

opportunities that help us in our own careers.

That aspect of membership is as old as Rotary. Paul Harris himself wrote often of the business advantages of

Rotary membership, believing, as I do, that being a Rotarian means a person holds a certain set of values that

will make him or her a good person to do business with.

Today, with the world more connected than ever, Rotary membership is an honour that we should be proud to

share.

Ron D. Burton

President, Rotary International
