Rotary Zones 33/34 Social Media

Rotary Zones 33/34 strategy for its social media presence involves a strategic and sustainable approach to meeting three primary goals:
      1. Provide creative and meaningful content to districts, clubs and members within Zones 33/34 (and beyond)
      2. Increase the reach and impact to districts, clubs and members across Zones 33/34 (and beyond)
      3. Ensure adequate and appropriate opportunities for exchange and engagement with districts, clubs and members across Zones 33/34 (and beyond)
To accomplish these goals the Zones 33/34 Social Media Team implements a results-driven and structured methodology to the creation and publication of its official content utilizing adaptable and innovative tools, as well as, best practices.
Recognizing that there are multiple options available today for social media, with each option not only catering to different types of content, but also, to different audiences, Rotary Zones 33/34 social media presence currently include the following:
   
Zones 33/34 encourage all members, clubs and districts to like, follow, join and/or subscribe to as many of its social media channels, as well as, to tag @RotaryZones3334 and use #RotaryZones3334 where appropriate in your respective posts on social media. Additionally, members, clubs and districts are all welcome to engage with Zones 33/34 on social media by adding reactions, posting comments and sending messages.
   

District Champions

To help promote and drive the efforts of the Zones 33/34 Social Media Team and achieve its goals, each of the 31 districts is asked to name a District Champion – a member of the district who will advocate better engagement with Zones 33/34 social media among respective clubs and members.

Ideally, a District Champion should be the current (or immediate past or incoming) District Public Image Chair; however, another current member of a District Public Image Committee or District Leadership Team (e.g. District Secretary, District Membership Chair, District Community Service Chair, etc.) can also serve in the role.

ROLE OF A DISTRICT CHAMPION 

      • District Champions will actively promote and be advocates specifically for Zones 33/34 social media channels and website, as well as, for Zones 33/34 Public Image in general
      • District Champions will inform, update and follow-up with clubs on relevant activities (including specific tasks, opportunities, events, and challenges) issued by Zones 33/34 Social Media Team (and/or Zones 33/34 Public Image Teams)
      • District Champions will receive monthly to bi-monthly updates and requests from the Zones 33/34 Social Media Team speaking to specific tasks and goals to be accomplished in each district and among clubs and members
      • District Champions will collectively meet with the Zones 33/34 Team on a quarterly basis at scheduled dates/times to exchange updates and review progress
