GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE - INCLUDING FOUR SUB-COMMITTEES

Overall Purpose and Structure

 
The committee composition will reflect a continuity of leadership. This includes a commitment to, as well as experience with, the general oversight and support of the policies and procedures of the Rotary District and clubs. 
 
Committee members possess a background in governance processes through experience in not-for-profit board leadership roles. 
 
The Committee is composed of 6-10 individuals including three Past Governors still residing in District 7090, the Governor, the Executive Secretary, and 2-5 Rotarians knowledgeable in not-for-profit operations appointed by the Governor from each of the Canadian and the U.S. portions of the District.
