The Optimist International Foundation is proud to be a vibrant and strong partner with Optimist International. That partnership provides funding for all OI programs and services, such as all scholarships associated with Oratorical, Essay, and CCDHH, a large portion of the JOI operations, and many other aspects of the Optimist Mission.
The Board plays a pivotal role in leading the OIF endeavor. The Board is made up of Optimist Members that have been elected by the donors to serve. So, it truly is “Your Optimist International Foundation."
We are approaching the deadline of Dec. 1, 2024, for nominations. The individual elected will serve four (4) years, beginning Oct. 1, 2025. There are several qualifications, but the key ones are:
- Have served as a District Foundation Representative
- Be a Member of an Optimist Club in good standing
- Be a financial supporter within his/her means for the last five years
- Be eligible to vote in the OIF election (contributed at least Dime-A-Day level the prior Optimist year)
- Submit a letter of endorsement from a Past Governor in your primary District
If you know of someone that might be interested or have questions, please have them contact me, Craig Boring, OIF Executive Director, at the following:
There is a form to fill out, which must be received in the office by 5 p.m. on Dec. 1, 2024.
