Rotary Clubs can engage their local business community in many ways, from sponsoring Club events to conducting initiatives that help build stronger communities in partnership with local businesses and the Bendigo Bank. Even engaging local businesses to 'Share Rotary' is highly encouraged.
To recognise the role of locally-based small businesses, Clubs may consider running a “Business Excellence Awards” program in their local municipality as a cluster project initiative in conjunction with their local Councils. Many local Councils work with local businesses to recognize the good work businesses do in the community. They highlight the achievements of many local businesses that would otherwise go unrecognized.
An example of this is the comprehensive publicity the Manningham Business Excellence Awards has received, now in its eighth year. This activity continues to raise Rotary's profile across the local business community.
