Senior Active Membership...


“Senior active” is a form of membership reserved for members who have provided substantial years of service to Rotary and is usually regarded as a mark of Rotary distinction. Being a senior active member signifies that a Rotarian has been involved in club activities over a long period of time.
A Rotarian automatically becomes “senior active” upon completion of 15 years of service in one or more Rotary clubs. Senior active status is also conferred upon a Rotarian with ten or more years service who has reached the age of 60, or with five or more years of service who has reached the age of 65. A Rotarian who serves as a district governor also automatically becomes a senior active member.
One of the benefits of being senior active is that if a senior member moves to another city, he may be invited to join Rotary without having an open classification. When a Rotarian becomes senior active, his or her classification is released to enable another individual to join Rotary.
It is important to remember, senior active is not a classification, it is a type of membership. A senior active member is always identified by “former classification,” which describes a business or profession.
