The following three blog posts have been started to provide a venue to discuss three separate legislative proposals. The proposals are accompanied by rationales from William McCarthy, our District’s representative on the Council on Legislation. Each club is being asked to vote on them.
The Council on Legislation is an important part of Rotary's governance process. While the Board of Directors sets policies for Rotary International, the Council is where Rotary clubs have their say in the governance of the association. Every club and district is entitled to submit legislation to the Council, and some of Rotary’s most important work has resulted from Council action. Women were admitted into Rotary because of the action of the 1989 Council on Legislation, and PolioPlus was born as the result of the 1986 Council.
Proposal 1 - The Rotary Club of Qualicum Beach Sunrise is proposing to eliminate the mandatory meeting attendance requirement.
Proposal 2 - The Rotary Club of Tumwater is proposing to make "Service Above Self" the permanent annual theme of Rotary and do away with the changing of themes each year by the then current RI President.
Proposal 3 - The Comox Club proposes to remove the restriction against Rotarians, their family, associates, and employees from receiving Ambassadorial Scholarships if they are otherwise qualified.
