How will the charity be chosen?

Members who wish to submit a charity for consideration must submit a Charity Nomination Form. The form must be completed in its entirety or it will not be selected as one of the final three nominations.
The form must be submitted at least 1 day prior to the meeting.
Only members with a signed Membership Form and who are in current good standing on their contributions may submit a charity for consideration.
Three charities will be drawn at the beginning of the meeting for presentation.
The sponsoring member, or member of the team, who submitted the selected charity should be ready to make a 5-minute presentation at the meeting.
NOTE: A representative is welcome to attend and speak on behalf of the charity as long as they are accompanied at the podium with the nominating member.
There will be a 5-minute question and answer period following each presentation.

How will members vote?

Following the presentations of the three drawn charities, each eligible member or team will vote by ballot. The charity receiving the most votes receive the donation.
In the case of a 2-way tie, members will be provided with the names of the two charities and a second vote will be taken. If the second vote results in another tie, a charity will be randomly picked by putting both names in a hat and drawing a single charity for that month.
In the case of a 3-way tie a charity will be randomly drawn by putting all three names in a hat and drawing a single charity.
If a member’s charity is chosen, that charity is not eligible to be considered for selection for a period of two year; however, the member can submit the name of another charity.
Checks are written directly to the local organization, not to The Power of 100. Your cancelled check is your receipt for tax purposes.
