VOCATIONAL SERVICE

Vocational Service Director:  Bruce Kink

Vocational service allows Rotarians the opportunity to share their skills and expertise as business leaders.  Vocational service focuses on:

• Adherence to, and promotion of, the highest ethical standards in all occupations, including fair treatment of employers, employees, associates, competitors, and the public.
• The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, not just your own or those that are pursued by Rotarians.
• The contribution of your vocational talents to the problems and needs of society.
• The values expressed in The Four-Way Test and the Declaration for Rotarians in Business and Professions, which promotes high ethical standards in the workplace, a central theme of Rotary throughout its history.

Vocational service efforts can play a vital role in improving the quality of life for those hardworking members of the community who need direction and expertise. By participating in any of a number of vocational service activities — mentoring, career days, vocational awards, business assistance, or even just talking about your job.
