A proposal was adopted that eliminates voting by proxy. Please carefully read details below:
Only the Club President and Vice President Education may vote on behalf of a club. Another member of the club is not able to cast a vote since proxies have been removed. The Club President or Vice President may cast a vote for their role and the other for a maximum of two votes. Note: Regardless of how many clubs a member is the Club President or Vice President, they may only cast a maximum of two votes. The District Administrative Bylaws, Article X (d) below state:
When the voting process is conducted only the Club President and/or Vice President Education of any Member Club may vote on behalf of the club as its representative. Either club officer may carry the club’s two (2) votes or, each of these club officers may carry one (1) vote, as determined by the club membership. The representative from any Member Club in good standing is entitled to a maximum of two (2) votes.
District Executive Committee members are entitled to one (1) vote and may cast up to two (2) additional votes as a representative of a Member Club, for a maximum of three (3) votes. District Council members must cast their own votes; no proxies are permitted.
