Here's your introduction to Toastmasters International's 2008-2009 officer candidates.
On Friday, August 15, you'll have the opportunity to vote for the candidates of your choice while attending the International Convention in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Candidates were nominated for the positions of President, Senior Vice President, Second Vice President and Third Vice President by the International Nominating Committee. The committee's selection is presented here in accordance with Article VII, Section 1, of the Bylaws of Toastmasters International.
It is the right and duty of all clubs to participate in the vote, either through their representatives at the Convention or by proxy. All members are urged to carefully consider each candidate's qualifications. Those attending the Convention will have an opportunity to meet and talk with all international officer and director candidates before the election.
(Additional nominations for international officer may be made from the floor at the Annual Business Meeting. International director candidates are nominated at the eight regional conferences.)
