The Object of Rotary is a philosophical statement of Rotary’s purpose and the responsibilities of Rotarians. The concept of vocational service is rooted in the Second Object, which calls on Rotarians to “encourage and foster”:

i. High ethical standards in business and professions
ii. The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations
iii. The dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society

DeLine stated, “We are delighted to be able to celebrate these outstanding community members in this fashion. They all bring so much to our community and it is our distinct pleasure to have a forum to honor their achievements.”
