Structure of RIBI
Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) runs with it's own constitution while observing and operating within the frame work of Rotary International (RI).
All Rotary clubs in the UK operate a 'committee' system at club, district and national level. This ensures the workload and responsibilities are delegated to manageable levels. The committees exist to help members plan and organise projects and events, they are:
  • Community and Vocational Service
  • International Service
  • Youth Opportunities
  • Membership Services
  • Foundation
Club levelRotary in Britain and Ireland consists of 1,840 clubs. Every club is autonomous and free to decide upon its own projects and events which benefit their local community, national and international commitments.
All clubs have a President that are democratically elected for just one year. Committees are organised and a chairman for each committee chosen.
Through district organised training events, the chairman of the committee liaises with chairmen of other clubs within their district, ensuring an integrated approach.
Clubs are divided into 29 districts within the UK. Each one is led by a District Governor, elected for one year, who represents all clubs within their district.
These 29 districts form RIBI which is an association of all clubs. The RIBI President and RIBI committee chairman attend meetings and represent RIBI at Rotary International level.
RIBI, like Rotary International, has a President who represents the entire organisation.
The governing body of RIBI is the General Council, chaired by the President, which is made up of the 29 district governors and other elected officers.
RIBI's administrative offices are based in Alcester, Warwickshire and act as a focal point and administrative centre for Rotary activities across Great Britain and Ireland.
