Women are active participants in Rotary, serving their communities in increasing numbers and serving in leadership positions in Rotary. The 1989 Council on Legislation vote to admit women into Rotary clubs worldwide remains a watershed moment in the history of Rotary.

The vote followed the decades-long efforts of men and women from all over the Rotary world to allow the admission of women into Rotary clubs, and several close votes at previous Council meetings. It took a club in California losing their Charter in 1978 for inducting three women, and a fight all the way to the US Supreme Court, before the glass ceiling was broken.

The response to the decision was overwhelming: By June 1990, the number of female Rotarians had skyrocketed to over 20,000. The number of women members worldwide reached 195,000 in July 2010 (about 16% of Rotarians) and surpassed 277,000 in July 2020 (about 23% ). Our own club fluctuates around 50% most of the time. The current 2022-2023 Rotary International (RI) President, Jennifer Jones of Windsor ON, a Canadian, further broke the glass ceiling by becoming the first ever RI President.

A top priority for Rotary is growing and diversifying our membership to make sure we reflect the communities we serve. We know that our capacity to increase our impact and expand our reach is larger when more people unite with us, which is why we value diversity, equity and inclusion. Rotary celebrates and welcomes the contributions of people of all backgrounds, regardless of their age, ethnicity, race, color, abilities, religion, socioeconomic status, culture, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Pictures include RI President Jennifer Jones, and three of our current female members (LtoR Deborah McKinley, Barbara Stothart, Paula Drillen).
