50 How do I get to be a District officer? (Toastmasters International)
If you want to be an Area Governor, show up at a lot of events
outside your club and get to know the people around your
District. Work hard within your club. Eventually, you'll be
considered for appointment as an Area Governor. It doesn't
hurt to ask the people who are running for District Governor
to consider appointing you. If you want to be a Division
Governor or other District Officer, you've usually got to run
for the office. Each club in a District gets two votes and
the clubs that have representatives at the Spring Conference
vote and decide who'll serve for the next year. Terms always
run July 1 to June 30, by the way, so elections are usually
held in April or May.
Another good way to get to be a District officer is to
volunteer to help a District committee. You don't get DTM
credit for helping a committee or serving as a District
committee chair, but you get *known* and that's usually all it
takes to get asked to serve the next time around.
