The Business Side of the Convention
As much as we enjoy the Convention activities and festivities, it’s important to remember that there is a business side to this gathering. The International Convention provides a time when representatives from clubs around the world can come together to make decisions that will steer our organization into the future.
TI uses a proxy system in order to have sufficient representation at the Annual Business Meeting at the International Convention to conduct the business of the organization. If a club cannot have a representative attend the Convention, they can name their district governor to serve as their proxy. That’s why it is important for districts to collect proxies and exchange those proxies for ballots at the Annual Business Meeting credentials desk.
