A Shared Experience 1 January 9, 2008
The Council on Legislation
T he Council on Legislation, Rotary's
“parliament,” meets every three years to
deliberate and act upon all proposed
enactments and resolutions submitted
by clubs, district conferences, the
General Council and Conference of
Rotary International in Great Britain and
Ireland, and the RI Board. The Council
itself also makes proposals.
The Council on Legislation is an
important part of Rotary’s
governance process. While the
Board of Directors sets policies
for Rotary International, the
Council is where Rotary clubs
have their say in the
governance of the association.
Every three years, each district
sends a representative to the
Council, which reviews
proposed legislation. Every club
and district is entitled to submit
legislation to the Council, and
some of Rotary’s most
important work has resulted
from Council action. Women
were admitted into Rotary
because of the action of the
1989 Council on Legislation,
and PolioPlus was born as the result of
the 1986 Council.
The Council comprises more
than 500 representatives
from every part of the Rotary
world. Voting members include one
elected representative of the clubs of
each Rotary district. Some nonvoting
members include the chair and vice
chair of the Council, the RI president,
members of the RI Board, and past RI
presidents.
