Clubs are chartered by Rotary International.
Why you must update
Our Clubs are required by Rotary International (RI) to take steps to update their Constitutions to any new RI Council of Legislation (CoL) version of the Rotary Club constitution.
In 2022 a further updated version issued from the Council of Legislation.
We have amended the RI 2022 Constitution to comply with New Zealand law as it stands now. In order to preserve the 2022 version, we have, as we did with the 2019 version, kept that in a PART 1 and then added the requirements of the NZ Registrar of Incorporated Societies by a PART 2.
In short, the 2022 version will be registered as required by RI but with additional clauses to ensure that it also contains the mandatory provisions required by the Registrar.
