Duties of a Disaster Aid USA Ambassador
Club Presentations
most Rotary clubs allot approximately 20 minutes for their program. When you are introduced, if you are using the DVD, speak only briefly and play the DVD as soon as possible. This will give your audience a complete overview of the project. Then ask for questions, or if appropriate share your own experiences. It is important the message be consistent.
Submission of monthly reports
To DAUSA Puablic Relation Director outlining your activities and presentations
Establish relationships
With the clubs or organizations in your area. Once a club has had a presentation it is difficult for it not to sponsor a Family Survival Pack. Staying in front of club members remind them that disasters continue to come more frequently and at a greater magnitude.
Note: It is most important to establish, if possible a relationship with the district Governor, District Governor Elect, District Governor Nominee and Assistant Governors. The District Governor s are the key component of getting support, so a good working relationship is essential. In particular, establishment of a relation with the District Governor Nominee is important long before they become District Governors and before they to to San Diego for the training. Get on the agenda at the district conference; this will give big paybacks in establishing awareness and club sponsorship.
Establish a relationship
With youth organizations in your area, including Interact, Rotaract clubs, and other school and church groups. Young people want to make a difference in the world and this is an easy way to show them how they can become involved and save lives. Display the Pack at youth conferences and events, where appropriate, ask to be on the agenda.
Whenever possible display the Family Survival Pack and Tent
At club fundraisers and community events; this is the key to raising community awareness. This is one of the few Rotary-related projects that people can see, touch and feel. It not only raises community awareness of Disaster Aid USA, but also Rotary. It is a great recruiting tool for Rotary. When you set up the tent please follow the instructions carefully. Our tent is large and does not give a good impression if it is not set up correctly
Develop fun fundraisers that appeal to youth
They can complete to erect the tent quickly and be sponsored to “survive” in it overnight, organize a 5K Run or other competition that requires participant sponsorship, host an auction or concert benefit, challenge local Rotary Clubs or other organizations to match their efforts, etc.
