2025-26 Report to Convention
Rotary in review: 2025-26
This year, Rotary members were invited to Unite for Good, using the power we have together to build a better world. As our members keep making a positive difference and raising awareness of Rotary — locally and globally — we continue to increase our impact and identify new opportunities for growth.
— General Secretary John Hewko
Membership: Enhancing the experience
This year, Rotary worked to grow our membership while prioritizing and supporting engaging club experiences. Clubs such as the Rotary Club of Global ROOTS - District 2101 in Italy are focusing on members’ wants and needs, such as service opportunities, mentorship, and hybrid meetings. Our organization also remains dedicated to increasing the value of membership.
Service: Making a positive difference
This year, Rotary members showed that we are people of action, uniting for good. From creating rain gardens that can filter up to 90% of pollutants in Texas, USA, to training more than 1,300 people to recognize suicide risk and intervene in Lithuania, Rotary projects are making a real, lasting difference.
Programs: Creating lasting change
Rotary’s programs reflect our priorities as an organization and demonstrate that together, we create positive change around the world. Whether it’s peacebuilding, supporting young leaders, or creating a lasting impact through our Programs of Scale, Rotary programs continue to engage communities globally.
