At the 1917 Rotary Convention in Atlanta, Rotary President Arch Klumph proposed creating an endowment “for the purpose of doing good in the world.”  Let’s celebrate together in the city where it all began!

·         the Rotary Convention is for all Rotarians, providing ideas and inspiration for members whether it’s their first time or 15th time attending?

·         people from 130 countries typically attend convention, allowing you to network, meet new people, and make lasting friendships?

·         you can experience the warm hospitality of the American South and unique host tours and activities in Atlanta with club members and other Rotarians?

·         convention is not only fun, but it helps you advance your personal and professional development through workshops and breakout sessions?

The Four-Way Test
From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the world's most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is The 4-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as RI president) when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. This 24-word code of ethics for employees to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide for sales, production, advertising, and all relations with dealers and customers, and the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The 4-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways.
