District Governor's Message

Dear District Leaders,

It's time to be represented.... 
Let us ensure all Club Presidents are aware of the "important" vote they posses.

"The Annual Business Meeting, where votes will be cast to elect the international officers and directors to the 2012-2013 Board of Directors, is quickly approaching. This year, the meeting will be held on the last day of the Toastmasters International Convention, Saturday, August 18, at 12:30 p.m. at the Hilton Bonnet Creek resort, Orlando, Florida, United States.
 
Today, Toastmasters clubs received an email containing proxy information. All club presidents and secretaries were provided with login information and a proxy number unique to their club. In order for proxies to be used, each club president or secretary must log in to the Toastmasters International website to specify how the club will cast its votes. Three options are available:
  1. The club is sending a delegate to the Annual Business Meeting.
  2. The club is designating its 2012-2013 district governor or, if the district governor is not in attendance, the next senior district officer attending the Annual Business Meeting will act as the club's proxy.
  3. The club is designating another active Toastmaster as its proxyholder.

To order a duplicate copy, send an email to proxyinfo@toastmasters.org . Be sure to include the current club president’s name and email address, and your club number."

"LET'S DO TODAY'S WORK TODAY!"
 
Cheers!
 
Alex Ginete, DTM
District Governor (2012-2013)
