Credential & Proxy Certificates
At the district council business meeting, each club president and vice-president of education in attendance is entitled to one vote. However, if either or both officers cannot attend, they may designate, in writing, any other active member of their club to act as proxy or proxies for their club (Use the District 43 Fall 2011 District Council Meeting Proxy Certificate) No other proxies are valid at this meeting - per ArticleX, Paragraph (d) of the District Administrative Bylaws.
In the event one of these officers does not attend the meeting and has not designated, in writing, an active member of the club to act as his or her proxy, the officer or proxy holder in attendance is deemed to hold the proxy of the other, and may therefore cast two votes at the meeting. This assures that every club is represented by two votes.
In addition, each district officer, including area governors, in attendance is entitled to one vote. Only district executive committee members carrying both credential or proxy certificates from their club are allowed three votes. All other members are limited to a maximum of two votes each.
