People of Action
Our Top Priority To Attract and Engage "People of Action."
Rotary International and its local chapters, like the Broomfield Rotary Club, have had a positive impact on communities all over the world. Our mission as People of Action is to change lives in our community and the world by providing impactful services and support.
To achieve this mission, attracting and engaging People of Action who share this vision is our top priority; nothing else happens without them. Our members share a vision, exchange ideas, and take actions that create positive changes. Since our founding in 1959, the Broomfield Rotary Club has been a chapter of Rotary International. Our goal has been to deliver services to families and individuals, improve education, and change lives. Our Foundation has given over $300,000 dollars to support more than 50 service projects in Broomfield and beyond.
We believe that by working together with our members and partners, we can create a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond our community.
