The Council on Legislation
convened on April 15th.
 
Every three years, Rotarians meet at the Council on Legislation to review and vote on proposed changes to thelegislation that governs Rotary. They consider enactments, which change Rotary’s governing documents, and position statements by the RI Board.
 
The governance structure of Rotary International follows closely that of our federal government.  The Executive Branch is comprised of the President and General Secretary, now the CEO of Rotary.  The Senate is comprised of our Directors, one who represents our zone 28  and its 12 districts and our paired district which is currently Zone 29 and its 15 districts.  Our House of Representatives is the triennial Council of Legislation when each of the 530 plus districts send a delegate to Chicago to act on legislative issues.
