(There were First and Second Vice-Presidents elected by the Convention
who were not members of the Board.)
At the 1912 Convention, when the N. A. of
R. C. of A. with the affiliation of the Winnipeg, Canada and London,
England Clubs became the I. A, of R. C., the offices of First and Second
Vice President were abolished and provision was made for the election by
the Convention of several Vice-Presidents not to be members of the Board
(5 from the U.S.A. and one from each other country in which there were
Rotary Clubs) and in the U.S.A. 5 geographic Divisions were designated
in which each Vice-President was to promote the extension and
development of Rotary.

charge from Vice-President to District Governor to be nominated by his
District and elected by the Convention.
In 1914-15 several
Divisional meetings (Conferences) of Clubs were held although not
provided for in the Constitution and By-Laws.
