MESSAGE
Unites leaders
Rotary unites leaders who exchange ideas and take action.
To exchange ideas
And take action

2. Local impact With friends Taking action
MESSAGE
Local impact
Talk about local impacts, friendships and taking action.
Many of us have had the opportunity to be involved in international service and have seen firsthand the significant ways we change lives worldwide.
Tell those stories also. But remember for potential members and new members, their connection to Rotary is their local community and local friends.
So tell the local stories also. And talk about how those international stories have local impact - how they inspired students to fundraise, or travel. How local business people came together to help people in need elsewhere.
With friends
Taking action

3. Avoiding “Rotary” speak
MESSAGE
Compelling story
Tell compelling stories.
Avoid “Rotary” speak about being on a GSE that did an NID or how the DG, DGE, DGN and DGND were at RYLA or RYPEN. Be an interpreter for ordinary people.
Use consistent visuals such as the new Rotary logo
Avoiding “Rotary” speak
Consistent visuals
