Rotary Representative Network

Connecting Rotary to the United Nations

Rotary and the United Nations share a history of working together toward world understanding, goodwill, and peace. To advance this vision, the RI president annually appoints Rotary and Rotaract members to serve as liaisons to key intergovernmental organizations, specialized agencies of the United Nations, and other international entities.

The Rotary Representative Network (RRN) is responsible for conveying Rotary’s interests, expertise, and humanitarian values to key international organizations. Representatives work to elevate Rotary’s global image by building strategic relationships and fostering collaboration with global entities on our shared priorities. The Rotary Representative Network also includes Youth Representatives, who are specifically tasked with elevating the presence and impact of Rotary's young leaders.

By serving as a two-way bridge, the RRN not only promotes "Service Above Self" but also gathers vital insights and resources to empower Rotary clubs and districts in their local and global initiatives

With top consultative status and experienced volunteer representatives, Rotary remains one of the most respected nongovernmental organizations cooperating with the UN system.
