The district director submits the report in writing to all members of the district council at least four weeks before the Annual Business Meeting. This may be done in the district newsletter or a separate communication. At the discretion of the district director, a statement from each nominee outlining their qualifications and abilities to perform the duties of the office may be included with the report. Only candidates nominated by the nominating committee may be included in the report. Floor candidates may declare their intent to run after the District Leadership Committee results have been announced and at least 1 week before the District Council meeting.
