The Toastmasters Hierarchy:
Members - Our members are the most important aspect of the district. It's people like you that help our clubs become successful and assist other members to grow and achieve! Our members are best served when we help them become effective evaluators and strong mentors for other new members.
Clubs - Clubs are supported by seven Club Officers; President, VP Education, VP Membership, VP Public Relations, Secretary, Treasurer and Sgt. At Arms. Club officers should be visible to their club members and be ready to assist members navigating the communication and leadership development programs.
Areas - Areas are comprised of about 4-7 clubs with each Area being led by an Area Governor appointed by the District Governor. Area Governors work with the club Presidents and Vice-Presidents of Education to ensure the club is supporting their members in the best way possible and fulfilling their Club Mission. Area Governors provide training and assistance to help clubs achieve their Distinguished Club Program goals. As such, it is strongly recommended that members serve as a Club President or VP Education before being appointed to an Area Governor position.
Divisions – There are six divisions within District 3 each being comprised of 4-6 Areas. Each Division is led by a Division Governor elected annually to support the Area Governors and help the District build new clubs. Division Governors meet regularly with their Area Governors and help coordinate with other District resources to ensure Area Governors have the resources they need to support their clubs. Division Governors also work closely with the District Club Extension team to conduct orientation and new club organizing efforts.
District Leaders – There are three primary District leadership roles elected annually; District Governor, Lt. Governor Education & Training, and Lt. Governor Marketing. The “trio” as we refer to them leads administrative, education, and marketing/membership committees in support of the areas and our member clubs. District leaders are measured by four critical success factors as defined by Toastmasters International: net member growth, net club growth, educational achievements and leadership achievements.
