Corporate Membership Program  
 
 The Rotary Club of La Crosse's Corporate Membership is a program to allow multiple employees of a business Rotary participation under one primary membership. Each corporate membership is limited to a three-year term. After the three-year corporate membership term, the individuals are required to become individual members. The policy guiding this membership is as follows: 
 
1. Application and Approval. The application for membership is a standard application submitted on behalf of the individual seeking membership in the Club and not on behalf of the corporation or business entity. The approval process will be the same as a standard Rotary membership. 
 
2. Designees. Once an individual or corporate/business entity becomes an eligible corporate member through the established approval process, a primary designee (Individual #1) and secondary designee (Individual #2) shall be appointed. Both designees must be approved by the Board of Directors. 
 
3. Changing Designees. Any changes to the designees must be approved by the Club’s Board of Directors. 
 
4. Orientation and Induction. All Corporate member designees will receive in-depth new member orientation and will be formally inducted into the Club upon acceptance of the Club's formal invitation. 5. Attendance. The primary member and secondary member are both expected to adhere to the Club's 50% attendance requirement. 
 
5. Attendance. The primary member and secondary member are both expected to adhere to the Club's 50% attendance requirement. 

6. Classification. The primary member and secondary member will both be classified based on his or her current business, profession, or type of community service.     
 
7. Rotary International Registration. The primary member and secondary member will both be listed as official members of the Rotary Club of La Crosse.  
 
8. Badges. Initial badges will be provided by the club with the first enrollment. The fee for subsequent changes or re-issuance will be borne by the corporate members. 
 
9. Votes and Quorum. For the purpose of general meetings and club matters, the primary member and secondary member will each be provided with one vote.  
 
10. Holding Office. Each designee, as an individual, can hold any office in the Rotary club to which the designee is elected in the normal process. 
 
11. Financial Obligations. The financial obligations of an eligible Corporate membership will be as follows: 
 
       (a) Both the primary member and the secondary member are obligated to pay a $50 new member fee and a $10 fee/donation to the Rotary Works Foundation.  
 
       (b) Both the primary member and the secondary member are obligated to pay quarterly fees for Club dues, District 6250 dues, Rotary International dues, The Rotarian magazine, and Insurance.  
 
       (c) The primary member is obligated to pay for all of their meal costs.  If the primary member is absent, the secondary member may use the primary member's "meal ticket". If the primary member and secondary member both attend, then the secondary member will also be charged for meals. 
 
      (d) Both the primary member and secondary member are obligated to sell or purchase the minimum required number of fruit baskets in connection with the Club's annual fundraising project (currently five).     
 
12. Conversion. A designee of the eligible business, while still an employee of such business, may convert to an individual membership under the same approval process of a new member. Should a designee of the eligible business leave the business, they may request to join the Club as an individual member. 
 
13. Bulletin and Communication. Both the primary member and secondary member will receive all club bulletins and newsletters. 
 
14. The Rotarian Magazine. The primary member and secondary member will both receive the relevant Rotary International magazine. 
 
15. Public Liability Cover. Both Corporate member designees will be included under the respective club liability insurance while participating in any approved club activities or projects, if applicable. 
 
16. Participant in Youth Activities. The Corporate member designees are expected to abide by all restrictions, policies, and procedures with respect to club activities involving youth. 
 
17. Termination. The process for terminating the membership of a designee or the eligible corporation will be as outlined in the policy manual.
