District Nominating Committee

                The District Nominating Committee will be chaired by the most recent past governor of the district, who is willing and able to serve. The committee will be composed of 15 members, including the two most recent past governors of the district,  who are willing and able to serve, the current district governor and the district governor elect. The other 11 members shall be club presidents, or recent past club presidents designated by the club presidents, of the 11 clubs selected by lottery at the district conference each year. Six alternate club presidents will be selected by the same lottery. No club shall be represented on the nominating committee two years in succession. Provided, however, the two past district governors on the committee will not be considered as representing their respective clubs. A candidate must receive at least 60% of the votes from the members present for nomination. The date of the annual meeting of the nominating committee should be announced no later than June 1 in each year and published in the current district directory
