District Realignment Discussion

This podcast episode focuses on the Toastmasters District Realignment process, particularly relating to District 57 and the creation of two new districts: District 205 and District 206. Hosted by George Thompson and Donna Walkers, the episode features special guests Michael Osur, past International Director leading District 206’s creation, and Ed Cullen, past District Director of D57, leading District 205’s formation. The conversation addresses frequently asked questions about the realignment’s implications for members, clubs, and leadership.

It’s that time of the year: new leaders, fresh energy! In Toastmasters, our program year runs July 1 to June 30, and May means elections. On May 16, District 57 voting members will pick our next District Director, Program Quality Director, Club Growth Director, and Division Directors. Want to see who’s stepping up? Visit the Candidates Corner page to check out their bios and headshots.

Mark your calendars:

Everyone is welcome at the meeting, but only eligible members can vote. Presidents and VPEs, we’ll need you for quorum. If you’re a voting member, keep an eye out for your voting packet.
