This year clubs in our district will have the opportunity to not only nominate a candidate for District Governor but also a representative to the Council on Resolutions and the Council on Legislation, and, for clubs in York and Oxford County, a member of the Finance Committee.
We all know how important the office of District Governor is and the Rotarian selected this year will serve as our DG in 2022-23. Speaking from personal experience, serving as your District Governor is not only an honor, it is also a distinct pleasure. You meet so many new people and have such interesting experiences. Do not be intimidated by the idea that it is too much work or too difficult. Ask any Past District Governor and I venture that they will all tell you how rewarding it was and how much fun they had. A specific "Call for Nominations" document for DG along with the club resolution recommending a candidate plus several other relevant documents with more information about serving as a DG can be found on the District website under Downloads in the folder labeled "2019 Nominating Materials." The deadline for nominations is November 1, 2019.
In addition, clubs in York and Oxford county can nominate candidates for a three-year term on the Finance Committee beginning July 1, 2020. Again, the deadline is November 1, 2019 and more information including the club resolution proposing the candidate can be found in the 2019 Nominating Materials folder.
Finally, every three years, each Rotary district selects a Past District Governor to serve a three year term on the Council on Resolutions and the Council on Legislation commencing July 1, 2020. This representative reviews and votes on changes to Rotary International’s governing documents. Once again, the deadline for club resolutions proposing candidates is November 1, 2019 and more information including a copy of the resolution form and a document on selection of a Council representative can be found in the 2019 Nominating Materials Folder.
