Each year Rotary Clubs have the privilege and honour of suggesting candidates for District Governor from their membership.  District 9685 and its predecessors have a great history of Rotarians, supported by their Clubs, who have stepped up to the role.

District 9685 is now calling for applications for nomination as Rotary International District Governor for the 2027-2028 Rotary year.

An applicant must be a current member of good standing of a Club in the District and have served as President of a Rotary Club for a full term. It is a challenging and rewarding appointment with a structured and exciting two-year training and preparation period, prior to assuming the position. It’s your opportunity to lead and inspire Rotarians in Clubs across the District.

As an initial expression of interest please contact PDG Mina Howard, Chair of the Nominating Committee. She will assist you by providing information about the role and the selection procedure.
 
You can help even if you are not intending to apply.
All Rotarians know someone who would be an excellent Governor and maybe need someone to tell them just that, so please encourage them to apply. If the response is “not just yet” they could contact the Nominating Committee Chair to get information for the future.

Key dates are:
1 March 2025      Formal Application Details and Package available
7 April 2025        Closing date for formal applications
27 April 2025      District Governor 2027-2028 Selection Interviews
