Recording of the Rotary year 2023-24’s first (virtual) meeting (of the Thursday, 10. August)
Meeting with the zones 17&18 Rotary and Rotaract members
We shared some «news from RI», introduced the 2023-24 Resource team, and discussed how we in the best way can assist the districts, share some tips and advice, present the overall plans/goals/priorities, share information about planned/upcoming seminars and other events, etc.
As August is "Membership and New Club Development" month in the Rotary calendar, we naturally(!) want to focus a little extra on / discuss about Membership development; how to develop the existing members, and to gain new members.
This, and the future meeting(s) will of course be open to all Rotarians and Rotaractors, so please «spread the word» to the Rotarians and Rotaractors in the zones 17&18!

By the end of this session, you’ll be able to:
1. Understand the connection between telling a good story and increasing Rotary’s visibility
2. Identify effective tactics to promote your projects
3. Use different tools to tell your story at every stage of the project
