About ICC · Who we are
Uniting Rotarians across borders since 19XX
Intercountry Committees connect Rotary clubs in different countries to build friendship, understanding and peace through shared service.
01 · Who we are
What ICC is and why it exists
An Intercountry Committee (ICC) links Rotary clubs and districts in two or more countries so members can build friendship, understanding and joint service across borders.
ICCs exist because lasting peace starts with personal relationships. By bringing Rotarians together across national, cultural and historical divides, ICCs turn goodwill into practical cooperation.
