Q: Is it required by members to obtain a copy of a driver’s license and proof of insurance before issuing a gasoline card to those in need? Is there any National policy or position statement on this?

A: This is a local decision. There are no national guidelines available. There are many Conferences that require seeing a driver’s license and an insurance card, but again this is a local decision.

Q: What is national’s official position on having co-presidents within a Conference?

A: The National Council’s official stand is that co-presidents in a Conference are not recommended. Too many problems occur with co-presidencies, and it is difficult for Vincentian members and the National Council to know who to go to for issues and/or concerns that may arise.  This is why we have vice-presidents. One president per Conference is sufficient.

P: ¿Es necesario que los miembros obtengan o pidan una copia de una licencia de conducir y un comprobante de seguro del automóvil antes de emitir una tarjeta de gasolina a los necesitados? ¿Existe alguna política Nacional o declaración de esta posición al respecto?

R: Esta es una decisión local. No se dispone de directrices nacionales. Hay muchas Conferencias que requieren ver una licencia de conducir y un comprobante de seguro, pero nuevamente esta es una decisión local.

P: ¿Cuál es la posición oficial de la Oficina Nacional sobre tener copresidentes dentro de una Conferencia?

R: La posición oficial del Consejo Nacional es que no se recomiendan los copresidentes en una Conferencia. Ocurren demasiados problemas con las copresidencias, y es difícil para los miembros Vicentinos y el Consejo Nacional saber a quién acudir para resolver los problemas y / o preocupaciones que puedan surgir.  Por eso tenemos Vicepresidentes. Un presidente por Conferencia es suficiente.
