District Officers
Being a District Officer is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of this organisation. You are the critical link between clubs and Toastmasters International.
There are a number of important District Officer roles that keep the organisation moving. The first step for most people is Area Director, which involves overseeing a small group of clubs. The people in this role will be supported by a Division Director, who cover a wider geographic area.
There are also “Top Table” roles, which tend to oversee a particular aspect of District operations. These roles include Parliamentarian, Admin Manager, Finance Manager, Public Relations Manager, Club Growth Director and Program Quality Director.
Finally, the District is led by a District Director. This is the captain of the ship and is sometimes the final decision maker on operational issues. Once their term has finished, this person will usually stay for one more year as Immediate Past District Director to provide experience and guidance to the new team.
If you are taking on a role, we recommend reading the District Leadership Handbook to better understand the District roles and key responsibilities.

District Procedures
District 72 is governed by the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Toastmasters International, the District Administration Bylaws and Toastmasters International Policies and Protocols, which are common to all Districts.
District 72 Procedures provide guidance where Toastmasters International policies or procedures are silent or unclear. These procedures are reviewed each year and ratified by the District Council.
