Jim Gilmore asked to serve as Vice-Governor
Jim Gilmore to Serve as Vice Governor
Rotary International has asked districts to get in the habit of naming a vice-governor to look after a district, should the district governor become incapacitated unable to serve for any reason.

Ideally, the DG nominating committee is involved with the formal appointment process. This did not happen for us last year so we are currently without a vice-governor.
I’m feeling pretty good again today, but I think it’s a good idea to comply with the request for leadership backup, so I have named Past District Governor Jim Gilmore as vice-governor for the remainder of the 2016-17 Rotary year.
Jim was a terrific district governor for us and continues to stay well-informed about district activities and developments. I’ve also asked this year’s nominating committee to officially nominate a vice-governor for the 2017-18 year when they meet later this year.
