Rotary International does not maintain a general or standard list of classifications due to ever changing landscape of proffesional work and unique commercial environments. Classifications are not rigid but flexible to reflect the various positions or professions in the area.
The above classification list is general in nature and could be used in most medium size Rotary Clubs.
To customize it for your club simply remove the classifications that are not available in your area and add those that are not shown on this list. It is suggested that you use a Chamber of Commerce business list or the headings in your local yellow page phone directory of chamber of commerce to help modify this list to fit your available classifications.
Reformat and show your member's name after their classification and the classifications left without a name are the ones you need to start filling
What to consider before making classification list.
Identify the missing classifications
Inform the club members
Assign each member the duty to identify suitable candidates
Membership requirements/ recruitment plan
Existing classifications in the club
Service projects available
Club strategic plan on membership
Country district and RI goals on membership
Purpose of the classification survey
• Identifying vacant classifications for recruitment.
• Ensure that club membership is balanced and is representative of the business, vocational and professional life of its community.
• Developing a pool of resources and expertise to successfully implement service projects.
• Better understanding of other occupations/ vocations/ proffesions.
• Creating better understanding and pride in own occupation.
• Identifying the various classification available in the club
• Establishing the potential available in the community
• Improving fellowship
• Updating the knowledge of the Rotarians
who should do the classification survey.
This can be done by either the classification committee or the club or the membership committee, under the general supervision of the board.
