The Bylaws of The Rotary Club of Seattle state the “Annual Meeting”, in which the election of officers and directors shall take place, shall be held on the first regularly scheduled meeting held in December. This year, with the Board’s approval, the Annual Meeting has been moved to the first regularly scheduled meeting held in February. The names of candidates nominated shall be announced to the Club in writing two weeks prior to the date of the election.

The Annual Meeting this year will be held on February 1st, the first regular meeting in February.
