CLUB LEADERS
We Are People of Action.
The Hillsboro Rotary Club is made up of men and women who are various citizens of the community including business and professional leaders dedicated to making a difference in communities at home and around the world.
Rotarians live by the motto “Service Above Self” and this is demonstrated in their daily lives through deeds and actions. With Rotary, it’s easy to be active and make a difference, and you’ll make many new friends. Whether your interests lie in education, mentoring youth, clean water, healthcare, economic development, peace initiatives or a number of community service projects, there is always something to do. You’ll find that with Rotary’s accomplishments, rich history, and sphere of influence there’s nothing quite like being a part of the Rotary family. With the power of many, YOU can make a difference

The club expects all members to participate in one or more of these committees. We invite new members, join the Membership Committee for at least one year and choose one of the committees below.

The Foundation of the Rotary Club of Hillsboro is separate and distinct from The Rotary Foundation (TRF). It is also a separate corporate entity from the Club, although the Foundation is integral to the activities of the Club. Members of the Club are automatically members of the Foundation.
The Foundation is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that raises and distributes funds to local & international worthy causes that are consistent with the mission of Rotary. Many of the fundraising activities of the Club members are on behalf of the Foundation. Functions of the Club and the Foundation go hand in hand.
