    Clubs with up to 65 Active/Life/Retired/Young Skål Professional members will be entitled to one vote and those with 66 or more Active/Life/Retired/Young Skål Professional, will have two votes.

    Clubs can at any time check their financial status with Skål International through the Officers Dashboard. They are kindly required to select the members for whom payment is being made.
