The District Council is comprised of the President and Vice-President Education of each club and the District Executive Committee. Presidents and VPEs need to attend this meeting in order to vote as proxies are not available per Toastmasters International rules. Voting will be done electronically.

If you are a President or VPE from out of town, plan to attend via Zoom on your computer. Proxies are no longer allowed by Toastmasters International and we require a quorum, so your virtual attendance is very important.

Details for both Zoom and electronic voting will be sent by September 7, 2018 along with the agenda and supporting documents.

Note: For the purposes of voting, a club in good standing is a chartered club with a minimum of eight paid members as of the time credentials opens on the meeting date. There is no grace period.
