Agenda – 2022 Annual Business Meeting
District Executive Committee and District Council Meetings
The District Executive Committee (DEC) is charged with reviewing and approving the District Success Plan, approving the budget, overseeing the financial operations of the District, recommending the assignment of clubs to Areas and Divisions, and reviewing recommendations/reports of district committees (including the audit committee). The District Executive Committee meets at least four (4) times each program year.
The District Council (DC) serves as the administrative governing body of the District, operating with powers delegated to the District council by the Board of Directors of Toastmasters International. The District council conducts all business of the District, assumes responsibility for the payment of all debts incurred in the presentation of District council meetings and other District functions, and does not assess or impose any financial obligation on any club or member of a club.
The District Council is required to hold at least two meetings each year. One of these meetings, known as the Annual Meeting of the District Council, is conducted either online or hybrid, and takes place between March 15 and June 1. All other meetings are conducted online. The first online meeting must take place no later than September 30 to approve the District budget and confirm District leader appointments. The notice of electronic vote is sent in writing to all District Council members four (4) weeks in advance of the meeting, and the agenda is posted at least 14 days in advance.
A quorum consists of one-third of all eligible Club Presidents and Vice Presidents Education. A majority of the votes cast is required to pass a motion.
If you are a District Officer – Area Director, Division Director, or Core Team Officer, you will be part of both the DEC and the DC.
Proxies for District Council meetings are not permitted. The Club President and/or Vice President Education of any member club may vote on behalf of the club as its representative. Either club officer may carry the club’s two (2) votes or each of these club officers may carry one (1) vote, as determined by the club membership. The representative from any Member Club in good standing is entitled to a maximum of two (2) votes. District Executive Committee members are entitled to one (1) vote and may cast up to two (2) additional votes as a Club President and/or Vice President Education.
