REGISTERING FOR VOTING AT CONVENTION 2015

In the past IIW issued a series of 3 part forms to

• Clubs• Districts• National Governing

Bodies• National

Representatives• National Presidents• IIW Past Presidents.

These were considered difficult to understand

Therefore a new system will be tried for the Convention 2015

• They will be asked to check with the Clubs who will be acting as their Club Voting Delegate and fill in the name and deputy for that Club on one single form.

• If the Club is not sending a voting delegate they will be asked to nominate another qualified individual

AT THE CONVENTION

To reduce the lengthy queues and waiting at the Voting Registration desk,

A nominated individual from the District (preferably the District Committee Voting Delegate) will be responsible for collecting all the voting booklets and distributing them to the correctly registered named individuals within her District

Any delegate coming to a Business Session holding a booklet not in their name

will be disqualified from voting

The District will be called upon to explain to the Constitution Chairman why the booklet was with the wrong individual.

The National Representative (or other NGB nominated individual) will be responsible for collecting the items for

• the National Governing Body• the National Representative• the National President• any IIW Past Presidents from her

country.

Please be ready to provide the name of your Voting Delegate to the District before 15 December 2014

so your Club has a voice and a vote at the Convention in Denmark.

CHECKLIST FOR YOU

• Tell District who is voting for your Club (and the name of a deputy if possible,) well before the deadline.

• Make sure this person has registered and is going to Convention.

• Go through the Proposals and Amendments (when they have been circulated) before the Convention in May 2015

• Tell your voting delegate how you want her to vote on them, or whether you are letting her use her discretion.
