Rotary Means Business - East Bay

Rotary Means Business (RMB) is an Rotary International Fellowship developed to bring a focus on business networking between Rotarians. There are RMB Chapters across the globe.

RMB East Bay chapter was formed to create the atmosphere for business networking for Rotarians within the East Bay area.

There is much to do in Rotary beyond weekly Rotary Meetings. In fact, there are many Fellowship groups but one, in particular, is of great interest to Rotarian professionals: Rotary Means Business.

This Fellowship of business people holds a monthly event in a different location, usually at 6 pm when working professionals can attend. The events allow every attendee to share a brief introduction about their business and how they can help their fellow Rotarians or their referrals.

Here are some basic essentials for attending a Rotary Means Business event:

• Be curious: Ask how you can be a resource for the people you meet at the events. The idea is to build trust and mutual connections.

• Be present: When possible, keep your phone away unless you are exchanging contact information.

• Be patient: It takes time to build relationships.

• Be a Rotarian: Apply the 4-way test to your business practices.

Rotary Means Business is often reserved for active Rotarians who are members of a local Rotary Club.

However, Rotarians are encouraged to bring one guest as a way to introduce them to the joy of Rotary membership.
