Has your Optimist Club nominating committee recommended a slate of officers for the 2009-2010 administrative year? Has the club asked for nominations from the floor? Has the voting been concluded?
Following Optimist International protocol, all club elections should be completed and reported to the District and International offices by May 20. Your club can make the report online at the PNW District website or by mail, fax or email with the Optimist International officer elect form.
Early elections allow the incoming officers to receive training and orientation at the International and District Conventions. It also helps provide a smooth transition from one year to the next. Make sure your future leaders are part of the team. Recognize them early and get them involved.
