Rotary International

“Members or Stockholders The membership of Rotary International consists of Rotary clubs organized and operating in accordance with the RI constitution and bylaws.”

“Persons Who May Elect One or More Members of the Governing Body The procedures for the selection of Rotary International (RI) officers are stated in the RI bylaws. Nominating committees select nominees for the Board of Directors, including the president. Director nominating committees in each of the 34 worldwide RI zones nominate a director from the membership of the clubs in that zone every fourth year according to a schedule established by the RI Board. Additionally, a 17 member nominating committee for president nominates a president each year (on a rotating basis each zone elects a member of a club in the zone to serve on the nominating committee). There are opportunities for clubs to put forward candidates to challenge the nominated candidates. Each club may vote in the election for president and directors, which takes place at the annual RI Convention.”

“Review of Form 990 Rotary International's Form 990 is prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm. A draft of the Form 990 is reviewed by the Senior Director of Finance and the Chief Financial Officer. Upon completion of the review process, the return is provided to the Board of Directors, signed by the CFO and filed with the IRS.”

“Conflict of Interest Policy All directors must disclose any family or business relationships with other directors, trustees of the Rotary Foundation, key employees, or highest compensated independent contractors of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation as identified annually by the General Secretary. To comply with this policy, directors submit an annual Potential Conflict of Interest Statement, on which they report any previously undisclosed potential conflicts of interest. The RI Executive Committee reviews these reports and works to resolve any actual or potential conflicts. If no resolution is reached, the Committee refers the matter to the Board of Directors and an appropriate action will be taken. A potential conflict of interest is deemed to exist if a majority of directors voting reach an affirmative decision. The director with the potential conflict of interest shall not be present for the vote. In addition, the Operations Review Committee monitors compliance with the Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy of the organization and the Board of Directors. Key employees and other employees in a position of influence are also required to make annual conflict of interest disclosures.”

“Determination of Compensation The process for determining compensation for the General Secretary, Deputy General Secretary and General Managers was last reviewed in fiscal year 2016. RIs Global People & Talent team collects data on total compensation (i.e., base salary and benefits) from several sources, including independent compensation consultants, salary surveys, professional publications, and information from similar organizations in the same geographic area. People & Talent provides a salary range for the General Secretary, Deputy General Secretary, and General Managers positions and the Operations Review Committee (acting as a compensation advisory committee) and the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors review salary ranges and salary increase parameters for reasonableness. The General Secretarys compensation is based on the terms in the General Secretarys contract. The General Secretary approves salary increases for the Executive Management Team within the salary ranges approved by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. This process is contemporaneously documented.”
