Do you know someone who should serve on the District 13 leadership team?

Why Serve?

Serving on the District 13 Executive Committee gives you the opportunity to be directly involved in shaping the future of our District.

You can also give back and share your knowledge and experience with other Toastmasters.

Nominating a District Leader

The first step is to decide how you wish to serve your fellow Toastmasters.

The District Leader Qualifications and Responsibilities document from Toastmasters International is a good starting place. You will get a quick overview of each District Leader role’s responsibilities and qualifications

A quick review of the District Leader Competencies document can give you an insight into the expected skills, knowledge, and characteristics of a District Leader. Another great resource is District Leadership Handbook. This will give you information on the district structure, leadership roles, and much more.

After you have selected a District Leader office, it’s time to get nominated.

You can nominate any active Toastmaster in good standing in our district including yourself by using the District Leader Nomination Form.
