The Rotary Club has a long history in Chicagoland, particularly in Naperville. However, despite having four locations, its leadership still faces challenges in recruiting new members and spreading its mission. So, what is the Rotary Club, and what are the benefits of joining?

Rotary clubs are known for being the world's oldest and most prestigious service club. They connect a network of people of action to provide humanitarian services, promote goodwill, and encourage high ethical standards. Rich Tatara, an active organization member, explains Rotary offers various committees for individuals with diverse talents, including finance, membership, public relations, youth service, and fundraising committees. In addition to making a difference in their communities, Rotarians of the Naperville chapter can sharpen their leadership skills via its leadership program, which hosts several annual events.

In this episode of the Mission Matters Podcast, Paul Feith welcomes Rich Tatara, President of the Rotary Club of Naperville, to discuss the organization and its mission. Rich also shares the Rotary Club’s contributions to society, the challenges of leading Rotary, and how people can benefit as members of the organization.
