  • Update Your Rotaract Club and Member Data in myrotary.org

    To ensure your Rotaract club stays active and connected, it is important to update your club and member data every six months. By doing so, you not only avoid the risk of termination but also make it easier to connect with other clubs through the Worldwide Rotaract Directory. Active Rotaract clubs can take advantage of various tools and resources on Rotary's website. Ideas.rotary.org helps you find funding or volunteers for projects, while Rotary Showcase (www.rotary.org/showcase) allows you to share your club's success stories. You can also participate in discussion groups and register online for the Rotary International Convention. Here are the steps to update your Rotaract Club's information and access these resources. Please note that only current and reported Rotaract Club Presidents and Advisors will have behind-the-scenes access to update club and member data. 1. Visit www.rotary.org. 2. Click on "My Rotary." 3. Sign in to your account. If you don't have an account, click "Create account." 4. Use the same email address that was reported to Rotary International for your role. Avoid using shared email addresses. 5. Enter your city and postal code, select "I am a club member," and choose "Rotaract" as the club type. 6. Type your club's name and select the correct entry from the dropdown menu. Contact rotaract@rotary.org if you cannot find your club. 7. Enter your member ID if known, or leave it blank. Click "Continue." 8. Wait for 72 hours for your new account to be created, then return to the sign-in screen at rotary.org. 9. After signing in, you will see your My Rotary homepage. 10.

Once submitted, the data will be entered into Rotary's database within 72-96 hours, granting you proper access. 15. Click on "Add, edit or remove Rotaract member" to update member data. 16. Review and remove any individuals who are no longer part of the club. 17. If you face challenges adding members, it may be because they already have a My Rotary profile.

Approximately 72 hours after creating new accounts, the Rotaract club president can verify new members' appearance in the club membership data on the Club Administration page. 20.
