Business members of Hudson Rotary include financial advisers, attorneys, accountants, bankers, real estate agents, printers, foundation principals, food retailers, hospital executives, marketers and many entrepreneurs. Idea exchanges among these talented participants for the community good has been exceptional.

Among the retiree club members are former college professors, athletic directors, business owners, corporation executives, medical facility directors and various professionals. Each member brings shareable concepts to the club and willingly offers advice to those seeking guidance.
