"Using Social Media to Enhance Public Image and Awareness"

Discover the power of Rotary Internatioanl in this presentation given by Pablo Ruiz Amo RPIC for Spain and Portgual on how to harness the use of social media to enhance public image awareness!

http://es.slideshare.net/PabloAmo/presentacin-pablo-ruiz-bangkok-2012

This presentation was given May 9th 2012 at the IMPACT Convention Center in Bangkok, Thailand.

Five Simple Advocacy Actions

The following are ideas that any Rotarian can use any time to engage those with the authority to influence political and financial commitments for polio eradication. This includes: Members of Parliament/Congress/National Assembly; Ministers of Development or International Cooperation, Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Ministers of Finance, and Heads of State.

Most Rotarians can reach out to their member of Parliament/Congress/National Assembly. This outreach can be done by standard mail, by phone, via email (many of these bodies provide email addresses or other means of electronic communication on the world wide web) or via social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Face to face contact is also important. Many elected officials hold town halls, conference calls or other special opportunities to encourage constituent engagement.

• Take advantage of media articles about polio eradication – particularly those that draw attention to the positive role of Rotary and the need for support. Share the article with your elected officials. Tell them polio eradication is Rotary’s highest priority and is important to Rotarians as their constituents. Encourage their support for this issue at this critical time, and if appropriate, thank them for your country’s previous support.
• Take advantage of reports issued by key groups for example, the Independent Monitoring Board or the Strategic Advisor Group of Experts. These reports often feature key points and/or quotes on which you can focus your own message.
• Share the infographics available from RI (at www.endpolionow.org ) that convey key messages in simple, easily digested ways. These infographics can be sent at any time to highlight key aspects of the program and the need for continued support.
• Make it personal – tell why polio eradication is important to you. Perhaps you, a friend, or a family member has been personally affected by polio. Perhaps you have children or grandchildren who have been spared as a result of the progress already made. Perhaps you have traveled to a country where you have seen the ravages of polio. Share your story with your elected official and why you feel it is important that they support this issue.
• Invite an elected official to speak to your club and use this as an opportunity to highlight Rotary’s commitment. This could be done in several ways:
• Provide a polio-related speaker gift such as a framed photo of a child being immunized or perhaps an End Polio Now pin with a certificate advising that a contribution has been made in his/her name to PolioPlus. Spend a minute talking about polio eradication as Rotary’s highest priority and encourage the official’s support.
• Ask the official to speak about the government’s support of polio eradication. NOTE: RI can assist in preparing talking points for the invited official’s use and you can offer this assistance. This ensures that they are briefed on the issue and also conveys to the official that this is an issue that is important to your club.
• If an elected official is invited to a club or district event for a non-polio related reason, this is still an opportunity to highlight polio eradication as Rotary’s top priority and encourage that official’s support. This simple action will reinforce outreach that is done by other Rotarians at Capitol level. Often elected officials will mention that they have spoken to a Rotary club but the club never mentioned anything about Rotary’s work on polio. This actually hurts Rotary’s efforts.

Maratón Rotario sobre la Paz. Paul Beaulieu PDG. Coordinador Rotary Zona 24 este.

Queridos amigos Rotary:

El nuevo tema Rotary es LA PAZ POR EL SERVICIO. El presidente Tanaka ha escogido este tema que a mi parecer es  muy significativo y actual. Eso me ha dado una idea.  Solicito vuestra ayuda para el proyecto que he preparado para el 21 de Septiembre que es el día Internacional de la Paz.

La idea es disponer de ponentes que durante veinticuatro horas discutan sobre la Paz. Necesitamos clubes en cada uno de los veinticuatro husos horarios que  organicen un encuentro de entre 5  y 7 horas  ( 17 a 19 horas)  para discutir sobre la Paz. El  resultado: un maratón sobre la Paz por los Rotarios.

-  Espeo que puedan encontrar un club en cada uno de los husos horarios que puedan organizar  un evento de 5 a 7 (la hora del cóctel). Pueden tener muchos eventos en la misma zona.

-  Me gustaría que mandaran esta información a todos sus amigos Rotarios pidiéndoles que difundan la información a los clubes. -  Uds. Pueden también establecer un lazo en su página Facebook,  Linkedin,  Twitter o toda media social para difundir lo más posible la información.

Algunos entre ustedes conocen socios Rotario en diferentes husos horarios. . No olviden: Que podemos tener varios eventos en la misma zona o el mismo Distrito. Es necesario hacer conocer el evento a todos los Rotarios. Más eventos mejor será el impacto que tendremos para nuestra imagen pública.

Visiten nuestra página web a www.maratonrotaryporlapaz.org  donde encontrarán toda la información así como el formulario para inscribir los eventos a nuestro maratón. Podrán así seguir la lista de los eventos que tendrán lugar en cada huso horario a lo largo de ese día.

El costo es solamente de $ 75 dólares americanos para registrar su evento. Eso cubrirá los costos de la página web y de promoción. Todo lo sobrante será entregado al programa de los Becarios para la Paz.

Un agradecimiento anticipado por su ayuda en esta bella aventura!  Sin su ayuda eso seria muy difícil.

Cordialmente. Paul Beaulieu PDG. Coordinador Rotary Zona 24 este.

Message from Brenda Cressey, 2013 RRFC Institute Moderator.

  The Global Reach of Rotary continues to be extraordinarily strong. Every day we learn about thousands of passionate Rotarians who continue to “DO GOOD IN THE WORLD”. We hope you encourage leaders in your respective Districts to share those successful projects and programs, supported by The Rotary Foundation, that are truly “MaThe Global Reach of Rotary continues to be extraordinarily strong. Every day we learn about thousands of passionate Rotarians who continue to “DO GOOD IN THE WORLD”. We hope you encourage leaders in your respective Districts to share those successful projects and programs, supported by The Rotary Foundation, that are truly “Making a Difference” by using the new Rotary Showcase.

 Your collaboration and efforts with the RC’s and RPIC’s are working to highlight the many benefits and wonders of Rotary Membership and ongoing important support of our Rotary Foundation. We now enjoy many difference sources of communications from Rotary International as they continue to improve our outreach by way of E-Communications, Linked In, Facebook and Twitter.

However, I think you will all agree that the smiles shown on the faces of our RI President Sukuji Tanaka and Trustee Chair Wilf Wilkinson is infectious as they enthusiastically share their love of Rotary around the world! I’m sure, like me, when reading and looking at the many photos reflecting their high energy you cannot help and be proud of this incredible organization.

Future Vision success continues to be encouraging and the best practices coming out of our Pilot District’s is virtually invaluable. However, as we continue to hear concerns about the loss of our long running and successful GSE and Ambassadorial Scholarships we hope you keep yourselves abreast of the positive effects realized by having these programs designed with more flexibility.

Colleen Hunter Jones y las Becas de Buena Voluntad.

                                       



   Colleen Hunter Jones, estudiante norteamericana de Atlanta de 24 años, obtuvo una de las Becas de Buena Voluntad que otorga Rotary International cada año. Nos comenta su experiencia durante su estancia en Granada:

"Parte de La Beca de Buena Voluntad consiste en visitar diferentes clubes de Rotary para dar una charla.  La idea es presentarme a los rotarios, enseñarles cosas de la cultura americana, cómo se desarrolla mi vida en EEUU, como conocí Rotary, etc.

Esta experiencia para mí ha sido genial, porque he tenido la oportunidad conocer a diferentes rotarios en España, viajar y conocer muchas ciudades.  Este año he dado charlas a los clubes rotarios de Dublin, Marbella, Estepona, Murcia y los dos de Granada.

Tuve la oportunidad de asistir  a la cena de cambio de collar de Club de Huelva donde volveré en Septiembre o en Octubre para dar una nueva charla.



He disfrutado exponiendo mi experiencia en colegios e institutos, tanto en Granada como en Sevilla, enseñando a los estudiantes qué es Rotary International, cómo se realiza el trabajo de voluntariado, así como diferentes aspectos de la cultura americana y sobre todo, cúales son las  oportunidades que ofrece Rotary International para estudiar fuera de España. ! Para mí ha sido genial!  He tenido mucha suerte, gracias a Rotary International."
