| New members of the RI Board of Directors
will be elected from clubs in Rotary zones 4, 7(A), 11, 15, 21, 25, 32,
and 33 at the 2007 RI
Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. As of 1 December,
General Secretary Ed Futa
had received no proposals of challenging candidates in six of the eight
zones listed. In accordance with RI Bylaws, RI President Bill Boyd has
declared the following candidates as the official directors-nominee from
their respective zones: John Melvyn Lawrence, of Brisbane Planetarium,
Queensland, Australia, Zone 7(A); Catherine Noyer-Riveau, of
Paris,
France, Zone 11; Lars-Olof Fredriksson, of Äänekoski, Finland, Zone
15; Philip J. Silvers, of Tucson Sunrise, Arizona, USA, Zone 25; Michael
Colasurdo Sr., of Brick Township, New Jersey, USA, Zone 32; and Eric E.
Adamson, of Front Royal, Virginia, USA, Zone 33.
When elected, these Rotarians will serve two-year terms, covering
Rotary years 2008-09 and 2009-10. |
In Zone 21, two Rotary clubs have proposed
a challenging candidate to the candidate selected by the nominating
committee. Because these challenges have been endorsed by a majority of
the clubs in the districts that proposed them, a ballot-by-mail will be
necessary to determine this zone’s director-nominee. The results of
these postal ballots will not be known until early March.
Rotary clubs in Zone 4 are repeating the director selection process,
as authorized by the RI Board in November. The candidate will come from
section B instead of section A. The name of the zone’s new
director-nominee will be known in mid-January. If clubs challenge this
selection, a ballot will be circulated to all clubs in the zone, which
they must return to the general secretary by 1 May.
