Rotary International was founded in 1905 in Chicago by Paul Harris and three friends as a forum for business and professional men to promote fellowship and ethical business practices. Initially focused on mutual business benefit, it soon prioritized community service, high ethical standards, and international goodwill. The organization grew rapidly, forming a national association in 1910 and expanding internationally by 1912. The cogwheel emblem and The Rotary Foundation were introduced in 1917. Rotary established codes of business ethics, expanded globally with clubs in Asia and Europe, and initiated major humanitarian efforts such as polio eradication and youth programs. Its mission, “service above self,” emphasizes fellowship, ethics, community service, and international understanding. By 2005, Rotary celebrated its centennial with over 35,000 clubs and 1.22 million members in more than 200 countries.
