Vocational Service is at the heart of Rotary’s philosophy — encouraging high ethical standards, service through work, and fellowship across professions.
Rotary’s Vocational Objectives:
- Promote integrity and ethical standards in business and professions
- Recognise the value of all useful occupations
- View work as an opportunity to serve society
- Apply the ideal of service in personal, professional, and community life
- Foster global understanding and peace through professional fellowship
“Each Rotarian is a connecting link between the idealism of Rotary and their trade or profession.” — Paul Harris, Rotary Founder
🏅 Pride of Workmanship Awards
Each year, Como Rotary presents Pride of Workmanship Awards to local individuals who embody the principle:
“Do it once – do it well.”
These awards celebrate everyday professionals who take genuine pride in their work — often the quiet achievers who go above and beyond.
