Every Rotaract Club is part of a District Rotaract Organisation. It is ran by elected
representatives with support from sponsoring Rotarians. The District Organisation plans
regional conferences, develops regional projects, holds club leadership training programs,
and sponsors special events to strengthen the bond among clubs.
Rotaract functions internationally through a committee of Rotaractors and Rotarians. This
committee works with Rotary International to plan an annual day-long forum held prior to the
Rotary international convention. This event offers Rotaractors from all over the world the
chance to meet, discuss issues of mutual interest, and develop friendships based on
international goodwill and understanding. Every three years Rotaractors conduct another
international meeting called
