District 57 District Executive Council Meeting


District 57 2024-2025 District Leaders!

Come and see our re-envisioned District Executive Committee Meeting (DECM), now featuring a monthly slot for a Keynote Speaker and a custom training session designed specifically for our current Area Directors and will definitely be of help to all in the room and on-line. This month, none other than Past International President, Michael Notaro, DTM, PIP, will present our keynote, “Toastmasters and the Olympic Spirit”! But wait, there’s more! Every in-person attendee will receive a special gift! Even more you say? Ashley Harkness will be sharing his secrets on “How to Start a New Club in Just 1 Hour” followed by special work sessions for all.

We’d love to see all of you in person, but if you can’t make it, we have a plan B – this meeting will be conducted in a hybrid format to accommodate our out-of-town and more distant members, just as we did pre-pandemic. DECM is held on the second Saturday of each month from 8:30 AM for a meet and greet, with meetings kicking off at 9 AM and wrapping up by noon, California time. Our in-person location is the Lafayette Library, 3491 Mount Diablo Blvd, Lafayette, CA 94549. Free parking is available underneath the building.

Still need a little extra incentive? How about snacks and the unbeatable camaraderie of fellow Toastmasters! We’re especially encouraging Club Presidents, VPEs, and Secretaries, in addition to the usual suspects…You-Area Directors, Division Directors, our Trio and other District Leaders working diligently, like all of you to help our members grow.

So mark your calendars and come on down! Let’s make this year one for the books.

See you there!
Sally Philbin
2024-2025 D57 District Director
Together We Can! Soar!
