國際扶輪
ROTARY INTERNATIONAL
國際扶輪是一個獨立的法律上的實體─獨立的並與個別的
扶輪社員有所區別，但是卻是扶輪生活中重要的部份。
國際扶輪由 19 位理事來管理。理事會包括社長、社長當選
人及 17 位任期交錯兩年的理事。社長從理事中遴選一位副
社長，理事會從任期第二年之理事中選一位當財務長。所
有理事是根據國際扶輪細則之規定由一個地帶選出。首先
是要選出一個提名委員會，然後由提名委員會選出一位理
事提名人。任何一個扶輪社能挑戰該提名而提名其他的扶
輪社社員。如果真是如此，則要舉辦通信投票。每一扶輪
社每 25 位社員有一張投票權或其半數以上可增投一票。然
後理事提名人則由國際扶輪的扶輪國際年會選任之，擔任
一年的理事提名人然後是兩年任期的理事。
為達成此一選舉之目的，國際扶輪設立了 34 個地帶。地帶
是依扶輪地區之地理分佈來編組。將兩個地帶配對在一起
並輪流選出一位理事提名人。因此每一個地帶在每 4 年的 2 selecting a Director Nominee. Therefore each Zone has a
年有一位理事，而該理事是來自一個扶輪社。地帶界限經
常因扶輪社員人數時常的改變而由理事會來修正。
每一地帶或一群地帶為總監、總監當選人、總監提名人及
前總監而舉辦一年一次的扶輪研習會。地區總監當選人、
地區總監提名人、地區總監及地區訓練師在該研習會開始
之前要參加特別訓練會議。那一種會議通常被稱為“領導人
論壇”或“總監當選人研習會”(GETS)，而是由前總監們(通常
是現任及前國際扶輪訓練師)所組成的委員會來主辦的。
國際扶輪之主要成員包括理事會(社長擔任首席執行長 The major elements of the R.I. organization are the Board
CEO)和地區總監。地區總監是在其地區代表國際扶輪，同
時要推動其目標及計劃。國際扶輪社長每一年度都要宣佈 representing R.I. and furthering its goals and programs. Each

RLI MANUAL
Rotary International is a separate legal entity—separate and
apart from the individual Rotarian, but an important part of
Rotary life.
RI is governed by a 19 member Board of Directors. The
Board consists of the President, President-Elect and 17
directors serving two year staggered terms. The President
selects a vice-president from among the directors and the
Board elects a treasurer from among those serving in the
second year of their terms as directors. All directors are
elected from a zone as provided in the By-Laws. First a
nominating committee is elected, and the nominating
committee selects a nominee for director. .Any club may
challenge such nomination by proposing another Rotarian. If
so, a ballot by mail is conducted. Each club has one vote for
each 25 members or a majority of such number. The nominee
is then elected by the R.I. Convention, serves one year as
Director-Elect and then a two-year term on the Board.
For the purpose of such elections, R.I. has created 34 zones.
The Zones are geographic groupings of Rotary Districts. Two
Zones are paired together and each Zone alternates in
Director from a club within its borders for two years of every
four years. The zone lines are revised by the Board of
Directors from time to time as demographics of Rotary
change.
Each Zone or group of Zones holds an annual Rotary Institute
each year for governors, governors-elect, governors nominee
and past district governors. District Governors Elect, District
Governors Nominee, District Governors, and District Trainers
attend special training sessions before the start of the
Institute. That session is often called the “Leadership Forum”
or “Governor-Elect Training Seminar” (GETS) and is
conducted by a committee of past district governors (usually
present or past R.I. Training Leaders) from the zones.
(and the President as chief executive officer) and the District
Governors. The governor is the person in the field
year the President of R.I. announces a theme. The theme for
this year is contained in Appendix II, attached. The theme is
annual International Assembly. Each club should use the
theme on its club bulletin, stationery, etc.
