DLC Report District 127
Dear District Council Members,
Subject: DLC report on District 127 nominated candidates for the 1-July-2023 to 30-June-2024 term.
Each year the District Leadership Committee seeks out, evaluates, and selects prospective candidates who are willing to serve as one of the Division Directors or in one of the top three leadership positions of the District. The Committee looks for individuals who have a core understanding of Toastmasters International, including how Clubs, Areas, Divisions and the District are interconnected. Every leader is unique, with varying skills and attributes. Getting the right people in the right position is crucial for the District to be able to take care of its needs and its members.
