Our next District Governor will be our last District Governor.
Toastmasters International has announced that the managerial titles for District Officers will change, beginning in July 2015.
Here are the old titles and the new ones that will replace them:
Current Title New Title
District Governor | District Director District # |
Lieutenant Governor Education and Training | Program Quality Director District # |
Lieutenant Governor Marketing | Club Growth Director District # |
Secretary | Administration Manager |
Treasurer | Finance Manager |
Public Relations Officer | Public Relations Manager |
Sergeant at Arms | Logistics Manager |
Division Governor | Division Director |
Area Governor | Area Director |
Headquarters explained:
“This decision to modernize the district leader titles was based on the findings of a Board of Directors committee studying the competencies required for district leaders to successfully fulfill their roles. As a result of this study, it became clear that titles needed to evolve to better reflect their responsibilities and real-world practice.”
