High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society; THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life; FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

Vocational Service in Action

How vocational service helps us become

better Rotarians

#ricon15

By creating a Vocational Orientation Day we can share our interest and advice to large gathering of high school students.

I BELIEVE

By organizing a Four-Way Test Contest for students we can reinforce our values and conviction.

By giving special emphasis on ethics at RYLA we can lead by example.

45

#ricon15

By organizing “Classification talks“ at club meeting we can appreciate our vocation.

I BELIEVE

By offering Vocational Award Presentations to someone in the community who has exemplified outstanding professional achievement and high ethical standards we can honor the professions.

By bringing students to our places of business to educate them about career opportunities we can show them the way to success.

46

#ricon15

By displaying The Rotary Code of Conduct and The Four-Way Test in our office or workplace we can show what is we stand for.

By taking leadership roles in business and vocational associations or to join a Rotary Fellowship related to their vocation we can meet other people with the same convictions.

I BELIEVE

47

#ricon15

By mentoring a young person and by sharing our knowledge, skills, and values we can help to prepare and succeed in his or her academic and vocational pursuits.

By organizing a workshop for local business leaders of the community on maintaining high ethical standards in the workplace we can show our commitment to vocational service.

I BELIEVE
