The Vale of Llangollen Rotary is a new and unique “hybrid style” of Rotary that will include a business network element to the club to run alongside its community work.
This is a new Rotary initiative that harks back to the roots of Rotary when the very first club was a business networking club. In 1905 in Chicago, four likeminded businessmen decided that business should not only support each other but should also put something back into the community and help others. They rotated their weekly meetings around their four offices – Rotary was born.
This networking concept will be totally different to any traditional Rotary that people may know. We are very open to local businesses people or managers of all sizes of businesses, soul traders, self-employed to small, medium or large enterprises in and around Llangollen and villages. Another new Rotary initiative is Business or Corporate Membership - Click here to find out more.
We know that the pandemic and lockdown has accelerate the progress towards a micro business economy, with sole traders and contractors working with large corporations on the rise. New entrepreneurs, soul traders and home working have come to the fore, so we are particularly looking for these people to help. By exchanging ideas and discussing challenges with other business people, they can develop themselves and their business further. Our President is a businessman and our secretary is an entrepreneur and Business Mentor with the Princess Trust so experience is available. Members will support each other, develop new business relationships and learn from each other.
Business and personal development, social responsibility, along with supporting the local community, are all part of running a successful and thriving business. Yet many business owners and managers are still searching for the best way to achieve the right balance. Here’s a fresh approach to enable you to reach your next level of business success and beyond.

Business or Corporate Membership
Business or Corporate Membership gives local businesses, nonprofits, schools, government entities and corporations the chance to give back to the community while developing their employees’ personal and professional skills through Rotary.
At many businesses, the CEO and other top executives will want to add Rotary membership to their resumes because they recognise Rotary’s reputation for combining business networking with community service. A business or corporate membership will allow your busy executives the chance to learn about the needs of their community so they can serve it well, while experiencing the personal satisfaction of knowing they’re helping others.
Younger professionals will enjoy the flexibility of our "corporate membership", which is more affordable and requires a smaller time commitment. Membership in Rotary provides young executives invaluable opportunities for taking on leadership roles while providing networking opportunities and mentoring. By offering the perk of Rotary membership, you show young executives that your business cares about their personal and professional growth.
HOW DOES CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP WORK? Corporate membership with the Vale of Llangollen Rotary involves an agreement with a business, and the business pay for or subsidises the dues for employees who have this kind of membership. We offer corporate membership to individuals based on their employment at a corporation, school or local business or other entity. Usually the cost of membership can be claimed as a "business expense".
The Primary member will be a person who has a senior role with up to two employee's or team members.
