Embracing change and increasing profile.

This weekend there is a Success Conference in Canberra, Australia - an opportunity to network ideas and invigorate the efforts of Rotarians to make Rotary the obvious option for people to support in order to make or world a better place.

The Rotary of Crawley meets every Thursday morning at 7.00am for a 7.30am start, First Floor Dining Room, The University Club of Western Australia.
The Rotary of Crawley promotes the development of relationships that make a difference to business and the community.  ROC provides its members with many opportunities for service and fellowship, with the motto 'giving has never been this much fun'.

Our message must say what we do!

Audiences want what Rotary offers. We just need to help them understand.

        Siegel+Gale’s research with donors showed 19 shared global motivators. Thing like “transparency” and “attracting people of the highest ethical standards.” Things like “helping me feel like part of something meaningful” and a “long track record of success.” Things we’re good at and some things we could do better.

        Understanding however is a hurdle.

        With every organization there is a gap between what internal audiences know and what external audiences know. Research shows that Rotary’s gap is two to three times larger than average. Obviously, this is not a good position and underscores the importance of clarity and focus as critical components of our future success.
