The advent
of electronic communications has certainly changed the world. Cell phones, Facebook and Twitter have replaced week-old mail.
The
upside is instant revelation of unfolding events – immediate stock reports, trouble in the mid-East, or even “hey, I just left the office.” Wonderful! The downside is that misinformation, half-truths or outright rumors gain credence simply because they are repeated endlessly. Instead of considering the costs of mailing opinions far and wide, or stopping to use a pay phone.

Now
one can simply go on the internet and broadcast to thousands
.
I am reminded of the acclaimed
CBS TV anchor when he broke his career story based upon “facts” that were later denounced. In his defense he stated, “I knew they were lies, but if someone spoke them, then there must be some truth to them.” Awrgh!Unfortunately within Gyro there are occasional rumors of discontent. Mostly they are like a response to the actions taken by the Board of Governors in Halifax wherein the BOG overturned the decisions they made earlier in Savannah.

In general they are repeated as all-knowing
facts such as:
“PIP’s
are frequently seen at conventions because some of their expenses are paid by International; the PDG’s & PIP’s tell the EC what to do; officer visitations to district and attendance at meetings are a cushy perk; and so on
.” Some accept them because they do not make an effort to be informed, some of because who repeats them, and a few who just seem to want to believe the worst.

Hopefully the following summary will put a few innuendos to rest:
•
Rumor:
PIP’s have some expenses paid to attend conventions
. PIP’s frequently attend conventions simply because they want to. They have invested much time and effort for the good of Gyro, and have many friends from around the continent they wish to connect with.

Slide7
Fact
:
Their only official duty is as a member of the nominating committee to select future International officers. The only “freebie” they get for attending is the same free bar open to everyone -- their contributions to the “jar” are no doubt more than their consumption.
Further
, the nominations committee meets through the lunch hour and often well into the afternoon and each member pays for his own lunch. They receive no compensation or expenses.

Rumor:
PDG’s
and PIP’s dictate to the EC.
PDG’s were formed into a quasi-organization in order to utilize their expertise in matters pertaining to Gyro. Many arrive a day early at conventions so they may participate in the discussions and make recommendations to the BOG in a timely manner. They self-impose an agenda and discuss relevant issues wherein they might offer suggestions for the good of Gyro. Fact: They have no vote or powers and their recommendations are only advisory, and are presented to the BOG for consideration. The EC is not involved.
They receive no compensation or expenses

Slide10
Fact
:
As stewards selected to oversee the operation of Gyro they are mandated by the Bylaws to attend both conventions and to act as the official representative to assigned district conventions. Not considering multiple club visitations done on their own in conjunction with their district visits, they mostly spend a minimum of five weeks each year of their own time to attend to these duties, and they commit to five years of service.
For
this they receive modest reimbursement of travel, hotel and food costs directly related to the convention or as the representative. Frequently the lodging is comped as part of the hotel contract. INNUENDO“a statement which indirectly suggests that someone has done something immoral or improper”
Slide11
Checks and balances are in effect in that all expense requests are directed to the S/T for review and approval. These are reviewed to ensure that the expenses are reasonable and consistent with similar trips.
Similarly
S/T expenses are submitted to the President for approval. Their personal expenses are out-of-pocket and after five years, the amount is significant for most. Finally, an independent accounting is done each year, first by the in-house Gyro accountant, then by an independent CPA outside of Gyro

Rumor:
International
is an incorrect connotation – i.e. when apparently implying that the Executive Council “only” is International. Fact: International is composed of every Gyro member, and includes the Executive Council, the Board of Governors and the entire membership. Alluding that “the International” (or EC) is some sort of group “above everyone else” is simply not true. Within the organizational structure, the EC exists only to supervise the day-to-day workings of Gyro; collect the monies and pay the bills; prepare an annual budget; and make recommendations to the BOG
.

Slide13
The Board of
Governors (BOG),
which is composed of the official delegate from each district, exercises its overall authority by bringing any issue to the table for discussion; reviews and approves the annual budget; and by
virtue of the votes allotted by club totals within each district, may dictate any course of action it determines through a democratic tally of votes.
The BOG has hundreds of votes at their disposal whereas the EC only six in total.
INNUENDO

Slide14
Finally
, the membership has the final say on any issue via their assigned delegates during the annual general meeting. They have the authority, if exercised, to approve or overturn any and all decisions made by the EC and/or the BOG. Hardly a situation wherein the EC is a special or privileged group.
The
EC is nothing more than the EC. It is only part of International. Obviously, the district representatives are the governing body of Gyro. INNUENDO“a statement which indirectly suggests that someone has done something immoral or improper”

Rumor:
International
, again meaning the EC and the PIP’s is a clique of “good old guys.” Well, maybe they are in the respect that they have all “walked the talk” for the good of Gyro.
Fact: Far from being a “clique” where “buddies” are brought in to share the Gyro largesse – the process is thorough and above any sort of buddy system. The nominations committee is composed of all PIP’s in attendance at the convention and includes the current president. Initially, the Chairman (IPIP) canvasses for recommendations from Governors, PIP’s, and others for possible candidates. He compiles a list of prospects, then contacts each personally to determine real interest.
INNUENDO

Slide16
In
time, the list is pared to 3-4 potentials. These are then offered the opportunity to be on hand at the convention for a personal interview with the committee. Many candid questions are asked, sometimes with surprising answers. Frequently a committee member will alter his
preconceived selection.
The PIPs discuss each candidate individually and votes to determine the nominee that is the best candidate available. The nominee’s name is put to the annual general meeting for affirmation, or not, and thus everyone has a part in selecting the composure of the Executive Council. INNUENDO

Rumor:
International Conventions and Interim Meetings are for the select few?
It’s just for PIP’s, the EC, the district delegates and some wealthy PDG’s. Fact: Every Gyro is equal and has the same vote. Every Gyro is welcome at all the meetings. Only attendance at the PDG and EC meeting are limited to those so determined. District delegates are required by the Bylaws to attend, but any and all Gyros are welcomed and encouraged to participate. Doing so would only enhance your Gyro experience.

Rumor:
International
meetings are just one long cocktail party! They
go on ad infinitum. Fact: The Hospitality room plays a big part in the conviviality of a convention. No different at International gatherings than it is at District gatherings. It is open several times each day so delegates may mingle and communicate in a less structured environment. This may be as benign as reacquainting with an old friend, or a chance to discuss one-on-one the hot topics of the convention. A look at a typical schedule of events would show the hospitality room is open an hour at noon, and before and after dinner most evenings.

Generally
eighteen hours over six days. The Executive Council will have had meetings totaling at least the same amount hours or more depending upon how many seminars are scheduled. The 3
rd
VP and wife will be locked in to all 36 hours and more when considering re-provisioning. The costs of the hospitality are borne by those who participate via registration fees and the ever present “cookie jar.”
These are just some of the innuendos currently being repeated by revolving emails. These distinctions are clearly spelled out within the Constitution and Bylaws. When raised by members, they should be answered directly.

I would think that if a rational person were to contemplate the thrust of these innuendos, it would be hard to understand how this fraternity could have lasted one hundred years. Surely if such goings on were true, Gyro would have ended long ago
.
One would hope that if a member has questions, or doubts about something they have heard, they would contact their Governor or an EC member for either confirmation and/or the facts. If there is something illogical on the internet, the general procedure is to contact Snopes for verification. I am not Snopes, but if you wish to ask me, you’ll get a direct answer.

INNUENDO“a statement which indirectly suggests that someone has done something immoral or improper”
An
allusive remark concerning a person or thing,
one of a depreciatory kind.
When exposed to such,
consider the logic and the source.
