Club Officer Election Reports

Hello Everyone:

his memo is going out to everyone. I know that a good number of the clubs have done their elections and submitted the results.

This is just a reminder to have your elections and results completed and submitted to Optimist International by May 20, 2013. This information that you submit helps our incoming Governor get his district information before his term begins. 

Our new Optimist Academy website even has a tutorial on submitting a COER using optimistleaders.org:

Submit your COER in Optimist leaders.org

The last number of years we as a district have let this slip and in turn the incoming governor has to try and get this information at the last minute sometimes without much success thus leading to missed information being sent out to the new executives of the clubs for the new year.

Thank you for your attention to this timely and pressing matter.

See you all in Billings

Club Elections

A special message to all members

Elections are just around the corner.  Actually, election results are due to be reported to the District Secretary-Treasurer by May 20.

This requirement has not been followed for several years, which has created numerous problems with notifications to Optimist International and the publishing of the District directory.

The current directory contains incorrect phone numbers, names of individuals who have not been in office for several years, and invalid email addresses.

As most of you are aware, the Optimist fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30.  In order to check the accuracy of information and have a time frame to actually publish the directory, an appropriate time limit must be followed.

Each member of the district pays dues, part of which are used for the publication of the directory, which can cost close to $1,000 or more.  It is not acceptable to me to publish a professional publication full of discrepancies.

Please do your part by having your elections at your next meeting.  If you must, call a special meeting to accomplish this task and immediately notify the District Secretary-Treasurer at 1-406-388-0168.
