Classification principle
By assigning each member a classification
based on his or her business or profession, this system
ensures that the club's membership reflects the business and
professional composition of its community. The number of
members holding a particular classification is limited according
to the size of the club. The goal is professional diversity,
which enlivens the club's social atmosphere and provides a rich
resource of occupational expertise to carry out service projects
and provide club leadership.
