Document Highlights

 

  • Quorum is required to approve any of the above items of business, which means 1/3 of eligible club votes must be represented. If quorum is not met at the meeting, there will be an additional online voting period post-meeting in which we will seek quorum.

All other members of the District Council shall be limited to a maximum of two (2) votes.
