District 5010 Public Image 2010--2011
Mandate:
Assist Rotary Clubs in Alaska/Yukon with their public relations efforts to inform Rotarians and non-Rotarians about Rotary: who we are, and what we do/have done.
Specific activities:
o Maintain a monthly news exchange covering what clubs are doing
o Develop contacts with media outlets district wide that clubs can access, as well as generic ads that all clubs can use.
o Train clubs to use Rotary International's PSAs and other available tools by providing sessions at the district assembly, regionally, or via webinars
o Place the D5010 on websites (for example www.buyalaska.com ) other than our own
o Have a regional contact that can work with clubs, attend monthly presidents' meetings and offer training
o Work with the District Governor on a spokesperson's message; provide talking points and record a P.R. spot at the beginning of the year.
o Create a "new media" committee, examples: Facebook or Twitter
o Develop benchmarks by which to gauge success of the activities.
Every Club to have a Public Image/Communications contact person
