Here is an opportunity for Rotarians to both serve their community AND raise some money for their club.
ASU's Consortium for Community Engagement Innovation and Learning (CCEIL) has been funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to hold community dialogues around the topic of 'energy'.
Rotary International (“RI”) has spent a lot of time, effort and money developing a unique, recognizable, and historically linked brand, and we, as Rotary Clubs and members, need to help keep Rotary consistently recognizable and distinguishable by properly using the Rotary brand in our club logos and event promotion materials. There are just a few things we must keep in mind to do so.
Just as with any successful corporation or other organization, Rotary needs to be easily recognized and to distinguish itself from other organizations. An important way of doing this is to have brand and to be consistent with how that brand is used (aka “branding”) on our logos, posters, websites, advertisements, and all other publications. First off, what is a brand?
“A brand is a name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller’s good or service as distinct from those of other sellers.” (American Marketing Association)
