The manual covers these key areas:

Rotary’s constitutional documents

All clubs admitted to Rotary membership must adopt this constitution.

Clubs can tailor these bylaws, as long as their changes align with Rotary’s constitutional documents and the Rotary Code of Policies. If you have doubts about your proposed changes, please submit them to the general secretary for the RI Board to consider.
