Expatriate Rotarians have been meeting regularly in Shanghai since 1997 to support worthy projects in our community, to encourage strong business ethics, and to promote the Object of Rotary.

As a private club, membership is by invitation only and based on the classification principle where each members represents his or her vocation or profession.

The club currently has more than 50 members and is growing annually. Members come from a broad spectrum of industries and professions, and currently represent more than 15 nationalities. Membership is currently restricted to holders of non-PRC passports.
