The Paul Harris Fellow is awarded by numerous clubs as a recognition for Rotary friends and companions.
The Rotary Foundation allows every club and individual to earn recognition points through donations. The conversion rate is set at 1 USD = 1 point. By exchanging 1,000 points, one can apply for a Paul Harris Fellow.
The process is quite straightforward: complete the form, send it to Rotary International in Zurich (to the attention of Ms. Valentina Guckes, valentina.guckes@rotary.org), and after the award ceremony, register it under the member (Polaris Administration > select member > member details > community).
The processing time at Rotary International is approximately three weeks, so it is advisable not to submit any time-sensitive applications (especially around the turn of the calendar year and also at the end of the Rotary year).
