A Message from Your
Lieutenant Governor Marketing

Dear Members,

Do you have any New Years resolutions?

If not, don't worry — I have a few for the upcoming year, and they’re all about you. I see a 2010 full of membership growth in your clubs. I see a 2010 that opens its doors to hundreds of new Toastmasters developing themselves as speakers and leaders.

Here is how our District looks for the first half of the year:

Membership Payments:
Goal by 7/1/2010: 7204
Total: 3289
Status: 45.66%

Club Renewals:
Paid: 147
Unpaid: 11

Have a wonderful holiday season!

Ben Lappen
Lieutenant Governor Marketing

Realignment Committee

Every year, the number of clubs that District 31 hosts expands as towns, businesses, and organizations build new Toastmasters training programs to benefit their communities. Due to the expansion of new clubs, the District has to realign our Areas and Divisions to ensure each segment of our District structure is balanced and poised for success in the upcoming year.

Volunteer now! Members are needed to analyze the trends of club growth in the District and make recommendations as to the structure of D31 Areas and Divisions for the 2010 - 2011 year. Anyone passionate about Toastmasters and interested in helping design the District's structure for the upcoming year is welcome to volunteer.

Benefits:

  • The job is fun. You will work on a small team of 4 - 5 people, and will have the opportunity to analyze the District structure and make suggestions to the team.
  • The job makes a difference. Area and Division Governors will be appointed and elected to make the Areas and Divisions that you create successful.
