Sandusky Rotary Corporate Membership Program
What is a Corporate Membership?
The corporate membership program is designed to open Rotary to multiple professionals / leaders within one company or organization via one package membership plan. Each package may have a maximum of 5 members. Each corporate member is considered a full, active member of Sandusky Rotary Club as well as Rotary International.
Corporate Membership Structure
One Sandusky Rotary Corporate Membership umbrellas the membership of 2-5 individuals from one corporate entity. The membership levels for fees and dues begin with a minimum membership of 2 individuals and the maximum of 5.
Within a Corporate Membership Package, 2 members will be named Designated Members (DM). These 2 members will be the initial 2 members of your plan. Those 2 members may then name up to 3 additional active members (AM) to the plan. Under this structure, the 5 members may use a flexible attendance plan to represent their corporation at meetings and events.
Why Corporate Membership?
With a Corporate Rotary membership, your company will have more community exposure, networking opportunities, involvement in collaborative local and international projects, and fellowship all with a savings in dues!
This package plan allows flexible attendance at weekly meetings between all 5 members. The corporate world gets busy and can be unpredictable which does not always allow for attendance at meetings. This structure allows a greater chance that your company will be represented at meetings.
The package includes the payment of 2 prepaid meals at weekly meetings. If more than 2 members attend a weekly meeting, the additional meal(s) will be added to the next membership invoice (paid every 6 months).
Attendance
All active members are encouraged to attend their local club meetings as well as participate in service projects and events. Rotarians are also encouraged to become familiar with, attend, and engaged in district and international service and event opportunities.
Votes and Quorum For the purpose of general meetings and club matters, a corporate member is a voting member.
Holding Office A corporate member is a full and active member. As such, you can hold any office in the Rotary Club to which the you are elected.
