ARTICLE I -- FOREWORD

  1. Existing policies governing administration of District 5110 are stated in the District Policy Manual, first adopted in 1974 as a supplement to the Rotary International Manual of Procedure.
  2. Resolution Number 1 adopted at the May 1999 District Conference made changes throughout the Policy Manual as necessary to:
    • incorporate changes in keeping with Article XIII, Section 13.010 of the Rotary International Bylaws which provide for election of the District Governor Nominee to District Governor Elect one year prior to taking office as District Governor; and
    • to ensure neutral gender references in the policy manual terminology.
  3. At its March, 1994 meeting, the RI Board of Directors made the following decision:
    • The Board requests the General Secretary to advise all Governors, in the manner he deems most appropriate, that while the Board recognizes that district bylaws can be helpful in the efficient administration of districts, they must at all times be in harmony with and cannot supersede the constitutional documents of RI and, as such, are only advisory to the Governor in his capacity as the Officer of Rotary International in his district.
