Hey club members! We all know what a big job it is to govern District 5400. And we've had some amazing people filling that slot in recent years. But the process of nominating and preparing Rotarians to serve as district governor (DG) never ends. It's time to submit nominations for 2022-2023! Put on your thinking cap and share your ideas at an upcoming Eagle/Garden City Rotary meeting.District Governor Rich Kirkham invites clubs in District 5400 to submit suggestions for district governor nominee designate (DGND) by Aug. 30. Here's the information you need to understand this process:
October 15. The nominating committee shall not be limited in its selection to those names submitted by clubs in the district. The committee shall select the best-qualified Rotarian who is available to serve as governor. The committee shall notify all candidates of their nomination or selection.
The DG notifies the clubs of the name and club of the selected nominee and announces November 1 as the deadline for receipt by the Governor of a resolution of challenge pursuant to RI Bylaws, Article 13.020.8
If clubs do not submit a resolution of challenge by the deadline, or if challenges are withdrawn, or if at least five concurrences have not been made, then the DG will declare the unchallenged nominee to be the official nominee and notify all clubs as soon as practicable.
If a club successfully challenges the nominee by November 1, then the DG notifies the clubs of the names and qualifications of each qualified candidate and announces that the candidates will be voted upon by mail. The governor mails ballots to clubs.
