| As a Rotary leader, you understand how important it is to help others understand who we are and how we make a difference as people of action. Publicizing your club’s efforts and sharing the impact you make helps attract members, volunteers, and donors. Thank you for making public image a priority and strengthening Rotary’s brand. |

| When you tell compelling stories about how your club is making a difference or is collaborating with new groups in your community, not only are you strengthening Rotary’s public image, but you’re also fulfilling one of our strategic priorities: Expanding Our Reach. By introducing new audiences to Rotary, you can inspire people with different perspectives and experiences to connect and take action with us. Find out more in our Reach in Action video. |

| New audiences want to learn more |
| You’re likely to find a friendly audience when you share stories of impact with your community. A recent public image survey in 15 countries found that 73% of respondents are interested in learning more about Rotary, so don’t hesitate to tell them about your club’s efforts and the impact you make! Go to the Brand Center today for resources to share your people of action stories and inspire others to get involved with Rotary. |
