Northern Illinois Rotary

A multi-district council working together to achieve Rotary's motto of

Service Above Self

in Northern Illinois

Northern Illinois Rotary was formed in 2013 to join the districts in the Northern Illinois region to work together on public relations, training, major service projects, major events, overlapping club areas, and much more.

The Rotary motto, Service Above Self, conveys the humanitarian spirit of the organization's members. Strong fellowship among Rotarians and meaningful community and international service projects characterize Rotary worldwide.

The new multi-district council is not a "super district" but an expansion of the concept of "One Rotary" where more than 200 local clubs work together to achieve Rotary goals.
