Uniting Rotarians Across Borders

What are Intercountry Committees ?

The sections within a pair maintain close communication, exchange information about Rotary events, and share regional publications. They work together and leverage their bilateral network of Rotarians to help clubs implement humanitarian projects.

ICC Sections

Individual ICC sections function autonomously, with their own leadership structures, and are responsible for coordinating activities within their respective countries.

ICC Executive Committee

At the global level, the ICC Executive Committee provides guidance and support to the network of ICCs — promoting new ICCs, collecting best practices, and maintaining a directory of active committees.

A Growing Network

The success of the France-Germany ICC inspired similar committees worldwide. ICCs expanded Rotary's reach, particularly in Eastern and Central Europe after the fall of communism.

The Forum on the future of international organizations

Rotary International is working together with ICCs to promote peace and international cooperation by aligning their governance and encouraging greater participation. The Rotary International Convention includes an ICC Preconvention — a key gathering for ICC leaders and members from across the globe.

1950 : The First ICC: French and German Rotarians organize the first ICC — a landmark moment in Rotary's international cooperation history.

Rotary International Convention : ICC Preconvention: A dedicated preconvention event brings ICC leaders together ahead of the main Rotary International Convention each year.

ICC Leadership: The ICC Executive Council meets globally to guide the network. Learn more about ICC history and the team driving international Rotary collaboration.
