The RI Bylaws provide that if there are two or more eligible past directors from any zone who have indicated to the general secretary on 15 April that they wish to serve as a member of the Nominating Committee for RI President, the member (and alternate) shall be elected by the clubs in the zone. I am attaching the bios of the two candidates for this open position for your consideration. At our June 11 meeting, we will elect a candidate for recommendation to RI and the results of this vote will be forwarded to Rotary International in compliance with RI Bylaws.
