A Call for All Members to Sign Up to LinkedIn
Having as many of our members join LinkedIn and use it, even occasionally, can benefit our Club immensely. There is a limited obligation on you to do anything after you have signed up, but we'd like you to try to link with your friends and especially your current and past business and professional associates.
It's free, and we're missing a great opportunity if we do not leverage this social media platform to the advantage of Rotary Hawthorn and Rotary more broadly.

Six Reasons on why you should consider joining LinkedIn:
1. Expanding Networks and Club Reach
LinkedIn is a powerful platform for networking with professionals, community leaders, and potential supporters. Rotary members can connect with like-minded individuals, which may lead to new collaborations and partnerships, and increase the visibility of their club's initiatives.
2. Sharing Club Impact and Projects
Rotary clubs engage in impactful community service projects, and LinkedIn provides a way to showcase these achievements to a broader audience. Sharing posts, project updates, and success stories can attract new members, volunteers, or donors who are passionate about service.
3. Attracting New Members
Many professionals, especially younger ones, are eager to contribute to their communities but may not be aware of Rotary. Having an active presence on LinkedIn allows members to highlight the benefits of joining Rotary, potentially leading to membership growth and diversification.
4. Professional Development and Mentorship
Rotary is a hub for experienced professionals who can provide valuable mentorship. LinkedIn facilitates these connections by allowing members to share expertise and engage in discussions, positioning Rotary as a space for growth beyond local meetings.
5. Learning and Staying Informed
LinkedIn is also a knowledge-sharing platform where members can follow trends, join relevant groups, and access thought leadership in community service, fundraising, and leadership—valuable for Rotary members looking to expand their skill set and bring fresh ideas to the club.
6. Promoting Events and Fundraisers
LinkedIn can be an effective tool to promote club events, fundraisers, and community initiatives. By engaging with the LinkedIn community, Rotary members can boost attendance and support for these events and strengthen their impact.
Encouraging Rotary members to leverage LinkedIn can truly enhance both their individual and collective impact by connecting, learning, and growing alongside a global network of professionals.
