Rotary is an organization of over 33,000 local clubs serving their communities around the world. Rotarians are leaders in their vocation, profession and community.

We meet weekly to discuss improving the lives of people, both locally and globally. We need and encourage diversity of membership in order to be more effective in this task.
The Rotary motto is “Service Above Self”.

The Phoenix Rotary 100 chapter was founded in 1914 as the 100th club to join Rotary. Through the years, Phoenix Rotary 100 has been at the forefront of community service in Phoenix and beyond, with a past and present membership list reading like a “Who’s Who” in Arizona’s history. Mayors, governors, U.S. senators and one Supreme Court Justice
have all been a part of Phoenix Rotary 100.

Read Why I Joined

I don’t think I realized it when I first joined, but I have a real passion for helping people and trying to make the world a better place.  What I quickly discovered is that Rotary draws people like myself who have ideas on service projects, but just need a little support from others to make it happen.  We’re so much stronger together than we are alone.  That’s what we mean when we say we are “People of Action”.
– Jay Murphy

My mother instilled community involvement and service to others as part of my values system. The Phoenix Rotary 100 Club provides such an incredible way for me to meet others who want to accomplish the same. I joined the Phoenix Rotary Club in 2020 to be part of a group focused on service above self locally, nationally, and globally.

– Kathy Mitchell

Being a Rotarian provides an opportunity to build relationships and friendships with people who share a desire to help others, do good things for people and our community.

– Gene Seifert

I’m a former commercial airline pilot, Navy veteran, and co-founder at Gateway Private Equity Group, a real estate investment firm whose portfolio has included hotels, multifamily, and residential properties. 

While in the Navy, I saw the horrific conditions that many people lived in and I vowed one day to be able to do something to help make change.  Rotary is that avenue.  I am blessed to be part of our Rotary family and to have the opportunity to make positive changes to so many people in need.

– Mike Stohler
