Sue Campbell is District Governor for Rotary North East, having held posts as Communications and Public Image Chair and as an Assistant Governor for Group 5.
A member of Darlington Rotary for 18 years, she was President in 2019-20 and chaired its PR and Marketing Group and Youth Committee.
A journalist, journalism trainer and public relations specialist, she ran her own PR company and written for the Rotary Great Britain and Ireland magazine and many other publications, working in the media in the UK and abroad.
She says growing Rotary in the North East is at the top of the district agenda, and this should be aided by good communications, internally and externally.
‘We can undertake all the best project and initiatives, but it is imperative that we engage potential members to tell them what we do – and have them tell us what’s important to them. Good communications is a vital tool for growing Rotary and to dispel any outdated image or conceptions there are out there - we are, after all, people of action. I am grateful to have a great team going forward and a whole district full of excellent Rotarians who really make a difference in their communities.”
