Rotaract originally began as a Rotary International youth program in 1968 at Charlotte North Rotary Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, and has grown into a major organization of ~9,000 clubs and nearly 120,000 members in 189 countries and geographic areas. It is a service, leadership, professional, and community service organization for young adults aged 18 and over.
Multidistrict communication and MDIOs
Rotaract multidistrict information organizations (MDIOs) function as regional resource centers for Rotaractors. They comprise Rotaract clubs in two or more districts either within a country or across several countries. Rotaract MDIOs are directly responsible for getting Rotaractors ready to be leaders, and they keep everyone up to date on program news, local and international news, and event news. They also help bring together people from different clubs and districts in a certain area. ==References==
