Attention Club Presidents and Vice Presidents of Education:
At the district council meeting Nov. 14, each club president and vice president of education in attendance is entitled to one vote. However, if either or both officers cannot attend, they may use a proxy to specify any other active member of their club to be the delegate at the District Council meeting. Click here for the Proxy Form: District 19 Proxy Form.
In the event one of these officers does not attend the meeting and has not designated in writing an active member of the club to act as his or her delegate, the officer or proxy holder in attendance is deemed to hold the proxy of the other, and may therefore cast two votes at the meeting. This assures that every club is represented by two votes.
In addition, each district officer in attendance, including area directors, is entitled to one vote, but CAN carry a maximum of three votes. Because they are district executive committee (DEC) members, they carry their own vote plus up to two more, if they are President or Vice President of Education of their club OR carry the proxy certificates from their club(s) for these officers. Other members are limited to a maximum of two votes each.
