According to Rotary International’s website (rotary.org)

Rotary’s public image is shaped by the actions of each of its members, as well as by its involvement in the community, its presence on the web and social media, and the publications it produces. The district public image committee, led by its chair, works actively to shape that image, and the district public image seminar is an opportunity to work with clubs to teach them how to do this in a way that promotes community awareness of Rotary’s work around the world.

The public image seminar supports Rotary’s strategic goal of enhancing the public’s image of Rotary and its awareness of our service and activities. It will help club public relations chairs and other interested Rotary members to increase membership, expand community partnerships, improve fundraising opportunities, and promote involvement in club projects. Attendees can get answers to their public image questions and updates on materials and messaging.

The goals of the seminar include:
 Giving members the tools and training they need to effectively promote Rotary and their club to enhance Rotary’s public image
 Preparing clubs and districts to create a public image plan
 Helping clubs and districts plan public image outreach and campaigns
 Encouraging clubs to designate professionals to run their websites and social media sites and manage other communications
 Exchanging ideas about public image activities
