Events

The Downtown Rotary Comms Workshop is open to all club members who would like to contribute in this in person workshop. Drinks & nibbles will be provided. The workshop will be hosted by Belinda, Kat & Tim. Please RSVP & join us if you can  

Challenge: we currently have an ad hoc comms/PR approach largely based on the capacity of one or two key people. This means we don’t have a strategy that aligns with the purpose of Rotary club or the audience we want to capture or connect to. 

Recommendation: Host a short workshop, to answer the key questions that will shape our comms strategy.
 

Questions we’d like answered (by anyone in our club who wishes to join us) are: 
1. What's our purpose as a rotary club now? 
2. What are our core products and services as a club? For example, is this RYLA, is this our membership drive, is it BOTS? We suspect there will be collection of important items that help to shape our comms strategy and our key audiences. 
3. What is the reputation of Rotary and how that is changing or how would we'd like it to change in our community? 
 

When we have the answers to these questions from the working group, Belinda and I can pull together the following outputs to shape our club:
- a relevant Downtown Comms strategy 
- a comms calendar + content for audiences 

Thanks, Kat & Belinda
