Last chance to help shape the future of Toastmasters
Dear Club Presidents and Club Secretaries in District 6:
If you have yet to assign a club proxy for your club, please do so by 11:59 p.m. Greenwich Mean time (i.e. 06:59 pm Central time) today 18th August, 2020. Your clubs have important votes to cast during the 2020 Annual Business Meeting. Clubs cast votes to elect one International Officer and seven International Directors to the 2020-2021 Board of Directors, as well as vote on Proposals A and B to amend the Bylaws of Toastmasters International. Please plan to attend the virtual Annual Business Meeting on Friday, August 28, at 12 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Voting will open for 24 hours during the Annual Business Meeting.
Would you like a sneak peek of the proposals that will be voted on? The Toastmasters International Executive Committee answers pertinent questions in an informative video, which can be found on YouTube.
For proxies to be assigned and votes to be cast, each Club President or Secretary must log in to the Toastmasters International website to specify how the club will cast its votes. Clubs must follow one of these three steps:
- Designate a delegate from the club to cast their club votes.
- Designate a 2020-2021 District Director to act as their club proxy. If (and only if) the District Director is unable to perform the duty of a proxyholder, the next senior District officer will act as the club proxy.
- Designate another active member to act as the club proxy.
This Youtube video below might help with assigning club proxy through club central.
Don’t miss the opportunity to learn more about the International Officer and Director candidates prior to the Annual Business Meeting.
To learn and understand the roles, attributes, and responsibilities of International Officers and Directors, please review the Leadership Roles.
