Founded in 1913, RCA now counts approximately 150 business professionals, civic and community leaders, and influential Austinites among its members. Each of these individuals is committed to Rotary’s “Service Above Self” philosophy that drives the club’s efforts to make positive and lasting impacts locally, nationally and globally. We often have 60+ members, guests and visitors attend our weekly meetings to listen to and be informed by some of the highest-quality local, regional and world-class VIP speakers available. Members also regularly participate in a large variety of civic and international humanitarian projects and events to help improve the community, learn about the world and enjoy fellowship with good people!
