Dear District Governors, District Public Image Chairs in Zone 32, and everyone interested in Rotary Public Image,
I am hopeful many of you are enjoying the International Convention in Calgary! I've been enjoying the social media posts from the East coast, and it looks like everyone is having a wonderful time.
This is the last Public Image monthly update for the Rotary year. It is also my final communication as the Rotary Public Image Coordinator for Zone 32, as my term ends next week. I am delighted that my successor, Amy Sheller, plans to continue sending these monthly updates, as many of you have commented on how helpful they have been. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your Rotary Public Image Coordinator, the past three years!
And now, here is the monthly Public Image update for June.
- Helping others understand how we make a difference as people of action is something all Rotary members can do. Use the resources in the improved Brand Center to publicize your work and strengthen the Rotary brand.
- The Brand Center has videos that you can use to enhance your meetings and engage your members. Click here to find them.
- Talking about Rotary members as people of action is a way to reflect how we see ourselves and what makes us different, while helping others clearly understand who we are and what Rotary is about. Find ads, photos, videos, and templates in the Brand Center.
- The Rotary blog has a new name and a fresh look. The Rotary Voices blog is now Rotary 360 and features inspiring stories, projects and ideas that showcase how Rotary does good in the world and builds community connections.
- Looking for an angle to get your club, project, or event covered in the local press? The redesigned Press Center provides` storytellers – bloggers, podcasters, broadcasters, and print journalists – with a central location to find ideas, images, and content about Rotary that will help you craft your stories.
- You have several resources to raise awareness and funds to eradicate polio:
- The Learning Center. has a new mobile app, RotaryLearn, that makes it easier for you to take courses on your mobile devices. Download the app from Apple's App store, or download the app from Google Play. Then open it, sign in to My Rotary, and explore!
- Have a story to share on our Zones 28 & 32 website or Facebook page? Reach out to any of us for follow up or share your story with pr@rotary.org.
Question of the month:
Q: Can I use “Rotary” alone in my club website’s URL?
A: No. Your club website’s URL should be the name of your club, such as rotaryclubofchicago.com. URLs without a club or district identifier, such as rotaryhappy.com, are not allowed.
Yours in Rotary,
Laura Spear
2024-2025 Rotary Public Image Coordinator, Zone 32
