Many Rotarians consider the Secretariat simply another name for the RI World Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, USA. Actually it is much more. While it does include the World Headquarters, the Secretariat encompasses nearly 500 individuals working to make RI run smoothly and effectively. The term describes the entire operations of the general secretary and his staff. The Secretariat also includes eight Rotary Service Centers (Formerly called Branch offices) around the world, all of the staff serving in those centers, as well as staff assigned to the Rotary Foundation. Its sole purpose is to serve the clubs, districts, and administrative officers of RI and the Rotary Foundation. RI World Headquarters, in a building called One Rotary Center in Evanston, is the headquarters of the Secretariat.
