We have 6* Directors, 5 Officers, 5 Standing Committee Chairs and several Sub-Committee Chairs. Officers report to the Board of Directors, and Committee Chairs report to the President. In accordance with our By-laws, the President Elect serves at all three levels: director, officer, and chair.
Our Directors are nominated by an adhoc committee made up of the Immediate Past President, the President Elect and three (3) of the most recent Past Presidents still associated with the club and are approved by a vote of the members to serve two-year terms.
In a small club such as Altadena Rotary, any member may be called on to serve in more than one area. For more information, please read our Club Constitution and or By-laws, which are available in the Members Only portion of this website.

Our current involvement includes:
• Adopting Schools
• Mini-Grants for Teachers
• Sponsoring Community Concerts ( More )
