Dear District 5450 Rotarians -
 
Rotary District 5450 is accepting nominations for our 2020-2021 District Governor. Any Rotarian, who has served as club president, is a member in good standing of his/her club, and been a member of Rotary for at least seven years when he/she becomes District Governor, may be nominated.
 
This nomination must be accompanied by a formal resolution adopted at a regular Rotary Club meeting or by the club’s Board of Directors. Applications must be submitted by January 31, 2018 - the application is attached to this email. Review of nominations and interviews must be completed by February 28, 2018. Any past club president interested in serving as District Governor should contact his/her club President for nomination by the club. Nominations for District Governor are to be submitted directly to the Chair of the DG Nominating Committee, Past District Governor Bill Downes by January 31, 2018 at DGBill2016.17@rotary5450.org.
 
The position of District Governor is both rewarding and challenging. All Applicants should be aware that it is a three year assignment not including one or two post assignment years as Past District Governor. But it is an honor and a privilege. The selected Nominee will work closely with District leadership before becoming District Governor to guide how best to serve the Rotary mission in the coming years.
