District Council

The District Council shall consist of the District officers (DEC members), Immediate Past District Director and two (2) representatives (President and VPE) from each Member Club in the District. The District Council shall hold at least two (2) meetings a year, one (1) of which shall be the Annual Meeting held before June 1 for the election of District officers. Typically these meetings are held in September and May. A quorum is necessary for the council to conduct business, making it very important clubs ensure representation at the business meetings.
