On September 1st I emailed the club presidents, calling on them to submit candidates for District Governor Nominee, to serve as District Governor in 2020/2021. All such nominations should be forwarded to me.
Qualifications for District Governor Nominee
Must be a member in good standing of a functioning club in the district and must have been a Rotarian for at least seven years by the time of service as District Governor
Must have full qualifications for such membership in the strict application of the provisions therefor, and the integrity of the Rotarian’s classification must be without question.
Must have served as president of a club for a full term or be a charter president of a club having served the full term from the date of charter to 30 June, provided that this period is at least six months.
Must demonstrate willingness, commitment, and ability, physically and otherwise, to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the office of governor as provided in section 16.090.
Must demonstrate knowledge of the qualifications, duties, and responsibilities of governor as prescribed in the bylaws and submit to RI, through its general secretary, a signed statement that the Rotarian understands clearly such qualifications, duties, and responsibilities. Such statement shall also confirm that the Rotarian is qualified for the office of governor and willing and able to assume the duties and responsibilities of that office and to perform them faithfully.
All candidates must be submitted by November 15, 2017. Our nominating committee will meet on December 9th to interview the candidates, with the proposed nominee announced shortly thereafter. (Note, to comply with Rotary's desire that we identify our Nominee by 12/31, this is about a month earlier than we have traditionally met.)
