Whether you prefer meeting in person or online, you’re welcome to participate from anywhere in the world.
Find your club
Come on out, whether in person or online (if you come in person there will be food and added camaraderie) to recognize the accomplishments of some outstanding Toastmasters. We will be recognizing DTMs, OTMAs, and Triple Crowns not recognized at the Conference. We will be announcing Division Director of the Year, Club President of the Year and Outstanding Toastmaster of the Year. The theme of the evening will be “Western Days”. Come in appropriate dress… or not. It is most important that you come.

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.
