R.I. Constitution, Article V Standard Rotary club constitution, article V (1) Engaged as a proprietor, partner, corporate officer, or manager of any worthy and recognized business or profession. (2) Holding an important position in any worthy and recognized business or profession or any branch or agency thereof and having executive capacity with discretionary authority and having their places of business or residence located within the territorial limits of the club.
What are the occupational codes? How do they differ from classifications? Rotary International's occupational codes were created some years ago in the event that Rotary found reason to research the industries represented in its membership. These industries are also used when determining the makeup of RI committees. These broad industry titles should in no way be confused with classifications. Rotary International no longer tracks occupational codes.
Does Rotary International maintain a list of classifications? RI does not maintain a general list of classifications Rotary no longer keeps a standard list of classifications on file Due to the ever-changing landscape of professional work and the unique commercial environments in which Rotary clubs are located, Clubs are encouraged to create their own classification lists by using their local Yellow Pages, chamber of commerce, or other business directories. Classifications aren't rigid and can reflect the many different types of professions and positions that exist in the local industries.

A Club which contemplates inducting a member with an unusual Classification, not listed in this classification list, is asked to advise the District Membership Development and Classifications Committee of full the details of the new Classification, the position held and the service rendered by the proposed member, so that this publication can be suitably amended at next revision.
