Public Image Committee
Rotary's public image is what people outside of Rotary think of when they hear our name. But name recognition is just the start. A strong public image promotes trust and encourages people to engage with us. We can help build our district's public image by sharing stories that show us as people of action and inspire others to get involved. Raising awareness and understanding of Rotary helps attract prospective members, instills a sense of pride among members, encourages community members to donate their time and money, and helps us stand out from other volunteer opportunities.
If you are interested in joining the Public Image Committee to help our club increase inter-club and community visibility, please reach out to RotaryKerrie@gmail.com.
District 5440 Technology Committee
Would you like to help Club and District Leadership increase our impact and fellowship using technology tools?
You’ll want to check out this small, motivated group of Rotarians who are passionate about making our lives easier and aren’t scared to talk techie occasionally. We have a lot of tools at our disposal, and the challenge is to simplify all this so we can increase our impact in the world.

District Rotary Learning Institute (RLI) Chair
Are you an organized leader with a passion for training Rotarians? Do you have a skill in event organization, but don't necessarily love to be in front of a crowd? Do you understand that Rotary hinges on training our clubs and members to be more effective, and want to be part of the team doing this work? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you!
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to give back to Rotary in a back-office capacity. The RLI Chair is a three year term that would be responsible for scheduling and organizing the Rotary Learning Institute program.
In this role, you would:
-work with local clubs to schedule 2-4 classes per year throughout the District
-be a part of the District Training team, and attend those quarterly or monthly organizing meetings
-schedule the location and facilities for the RLI classes
-order the food and arrange delivery during classes
-arrange to have facilitators for each session, and work with them in advance to prepare
-ensure the facilitators and participants have the materials they need
-organize a facilitator training every other year or so to ensure we have great facilitators into the future
-You are welcome to attend the RLI sessions or help facilitate those yourself, but there is no expectation that you must do these things
-work with others to advertise the RLI sessions, to increase attendance
-update the RLI curriculum each year, as we get feedback, as things change, and to keep the content fresh (we own the curriculum outright now, so you have complete freedom with the curriculum. Have fun with it!)
If you are interested in serving in this role, please reach out to our District Trainer, Shurie Scheel, at shuriescheel@gmail.com. We would love to have you on the District Training Team, serving in this role. We hope you will consider taking on this exciting challenge!
Thank you for your consideration,
