The Councils give us a voice in how our organization is governed.
Council on Resolutions
The Council on Resolutions meets online every year to vote on proposed resolutions. Resolutions are requests to the Board or the Trustees to take an action that is outside the purview of the constitutional documents. Ideally, a resolution should affect the Rotary world, rather than address local or administrative issues.
Representatives from all Rotary districts vote on resolutions proposed by clubs, districts, the RI Board, and the general council or conference of RIBI. Adopted resolutions are then considered by the RI Board or The Rotary Foundation Trustees.
Council on Legislation
Every three years, Rotarians meet at the Council on Legislation to review and vote on proposed changes to the legislation that governs Rotary. They consider enactments, which change Rotary’s governing documents, and position statements by the RI Board.
Proposing legislation and resolutions
Clubs, districts, the RI Board, and the RIBI general council or conference may submit legislation and resolutions to the Councils. Upcoming deadlines for submitting resolutions and legislation follow:
