Sally Philbin, DTM

The District Director is responsible for District Administration and overseeing the District’s day-to-day operations, finances, and volunteers. The District Director does this with the help of a strong team of more than 70 District leaders. As a team, the District Leadership works toward the District Mission, to build new clubs and help our clubs and their members achieve excellence, while supporting each other in our leadership development. By helping our members achieve their goals we automatically help strengthen the District. By remembering that we are all members of District 57 Toastmasters, all volunteers, we remember the importance of achieving our personal development goals while helping others do the same. Think Differently. Together We Can! Soar!
