Rotary Means Business, Western Australia Details
A SHORT HISTORY OF ROTARY MEANS BUSINESSFor decades, Rotary frowned upon mixing business with the good deeds that Rotarians often performed. That idea conflicted with the fact that Rotary was started in 1905 as a business networking club. It was not until the mid-2000's that individual Rotary clubs began to feel comfortable about integrating business networking back into the Rotary World. The very first Rotary Means Business group was founded by Rotary Club of San Francisco in 2004. This caught the attention of the District 5150 Governor, who encouraged suburban clubs in the District to form their own Rotary Means Business group. In early November 2013, Rotary Means Business was approved as the newest Fellowship of Rotary International. And now, the Rotary Means Business Fellowship is operating in more than 30 countries through 27 local chapters, on every continent except Antarctica. Rotary Means Business's goal is to build business relationships among Rotarians based on the principles of the Four Way Test which talks about honesty, fairness, friendship and benefit to all concerned. Prior to Rotary Means Business (RMB), other than through the regular weekly meetings, there was no clear outlet to support the development of business interests. Monthly RMB meetings are open to all Rotarians and provide a chance for Rotarians to socialize, share business expertise, and build referral networks. And create the opportunity to do business. In short, RMB connects Rotarians in business.
