Five Standing Committees and Role

  • Club Administration

    • The role of the club public relations committee is to inform the public about Rotary and promote the club’s service projects and activities. Having strong public relations ensures that communities around the world know that Rotary is a credible organization that meets real needs. When a Rotary club has a positive public image, current members are motivated to be active and prospective members are eager to join.

§  Promoting Your Rotary Club

·        The primary responsibility of the public relations committee is to create awareness in your community of your club’s service projects and activities, and in doing so, promote the values and work of the organization. The community learns about Rotary through the media and by what others say

·        about the organization, so informing your club members and the media of your club’s undertakings is crucial to building strong public relations. There are many ways to promote your club and the organization, including:

·        • Sponsoring special events, such as marathons, recycling efforts, or fundraisers

·        • Creating exhibits and displays throughout the community

·        • Advertising club projects and events in newspapers or magazines, on

·           billboards or buses, or in air or rail transportation centers

·        • Encouraging Rotarians to wear their Rotary lapel pins

      • Posting Rotary information on an online forum, community calendar,
      • social networking sites, or your club’s or another organization’s Web site.
      • Your committee should brainstorm other ideas before your year begins, and
      • create a plan for implementing them during your year. In order to promote
      • Rotary effectively, you will need to work with other Rotarians, understand
      • the components of public relations, and know and be able to use key Rotary
      • messages.
