Club Website: Keepin' it fresh! Audit Your Club's Website & Social Media Presence With This 2023-2024 Checklist
Have you ever looked at your club's website as if you were a potential member? Is it up to date, with current photos & service projects...or is it old, dated, and need a facelift?
Would you join your Rotary club based upon your website & social media? People
who are curious about Rotary, or the clubs in their area, will search for your club information online. What they find will either end their interest or inspire them to learn more about your club.
It's not "if" they explore your club online...but "when"! Take the time now to update, correct, and showcase your club to potential members.
Getting Permission: Photographs of Your Events, Fundraisers & More...Do you have a Photo Release? Let's Follow The Same Procedure As Rotary International Does!
So you've taken great photos of your club's event, meeting, fundraiser or public event to promote on your club's website, social media, and club brochure. Do you really need a Photo/Model/Likeness Release? Click here to learn more.
Getting permission
It’s important to obtain signed, written permission from every person visible in the image or recording before you post it to your website or social media accounts. This applies to people in your club, all participants or attendees in any service projects, and people walking by in the background. Written consent should include the name of the subject and a statement that says they agree to be recorded and that the person recording them may use the recording.
If possible, avoid including anyone under age 18. If you do include them, be sure to get written permission from the parents or guardians of any children who appear in the video.
If the video is taken by someone else, have that person license its use to your club and make sure the subjects have granted permission for you to use their images or voices.
So, What is your proof?
Once you've taken the photos and have the signed release, what is your proof that the person in the photo actually signed the release? You need to take a closeup photo of the person holding their Photo/Model/Likeness Release (see example photo on the left) to ensure a clear one-to-one match of the person’s name with their model release.
Each Rotary Club should keep photo releases, plus the closeup photo of the person holding their signed release:
- Signed by both parents if the subject is a minor (under age 18)
- And/or signed by the subject if the subject is an adult (age 18 or older).
If the Club has such a release and photo evidence, then the Club may use images of the subject in its PR, on its website, etc. The responsibility for obtaining and retaining releases should be done by the Rotary club and kept in a permanent file.
Before use, please verify with your club’s attorney that the form is appropriate for use by your club and meets your club’s local jurisdiction legal requirements.
