It is the end of January with only 5 months to the end of this Toastmasters’ year. There is so much happening in that time frame from make-up officer training to all things contests to area visits and to conference which includes the spring business meeting that finding your replacement can get lost in the mix.
This is just a reminder that each and every Area Director and Division Director has the task of recommending their successor. Now is the time to look at your clubs for a potential Area Director and start having that person shadow you for the last months of the year.
While Division Directors are elected at the Spring Business Meeting on May 16th, it is not too late to encourage your own candidate to “put in the paperwork.”
Won’t it be great to have the next Area and Division Directors ready to seamlessly take the reins from you and continue the success you have had in 2024-2025? Let’s make it happen!!
