The Learning Center on Rotary.org is an outstanding resource for Rotarians. It has learning modules on Membership, Service, Foundation and much more. It contains an excellent learning plan for Public Image, and I can tell you it's time well spent. Below are links to the 5-part series. (Note that these links are behind the Rotary.org firewall so you'll need to create an account and be logged in first or the links won’t work.

And your People of Action images to this one:
