Partnering with Rotary Down UnderStrong partnership with RDU that allows us to promote the campaign internally:
The December issue had an article covering the Conversations to Action campaign featured on the front cover; the February issue which has just been released, details the Zone Membership Development Plan via an insert flyer – this is great communication of our major campaign for all members..
Elissa Nolan from RDU tracks and promotes stories daily through social media, particularly Zone Facebook: over 7,000 visits to the new website launched 24 September, 87% being new visitors to Rotary
