Club Bulletin - November 21, 2019

Posted by Catherine Hammill on Nov 26, 2019
 
The “People of Action” global ad campaign is for people who do not know about Rotary or why it’s relevant to them. Rotarians share a unique passion for taking action to improve their communities and the world. Where others see problems, we see solutions. This is our chance to show others how Rotarians see what’s possible in their communities and to highlight what we can achieve when more community leaders join Rotary.

Speaker: Laura Spear – People Of Action was launched in 2017 to raise the public’s awareness of who and what Rotary is.  Awareness, understanding, interest, engagement and commitment are the desired progression. Providing the tools and resources for individual clubs to do it.  The core is a branding center so that all material coming from any Rotary looks the same and helps raise brand awareness.
