Please bring that respect to all other chairs within your Committees/Districts/Areas/Regions.
We are doing election next. I will read the qualification from World Service Manual. I will allow the current members sitting in the position to share their experience. I will then accept nominations. You don’t need to shout second for nominations only if members nominate themselves. When nominated sit to the side. All questions are to all candidates. 4 questions for each candidate and all candidates will answer.
