Alignment Committee Member
Each year the Alignment Committee reviews how the district’s clubs are grouped into areas and divisions, and proposes changes for the district executive committee to review. The district council approves the alignment at its annual meeting.
Responsibilities
- Review the alignment of clubs, areas and divisions in the district
- Prepare an alignment proposal for the district executive committee to review
- Assign clubs to areas by Toastmasters’ criteria: geographic proximity, an Area Director’s ability to serve the clubs, club size and strength, expected growth, and the likelihood of Distinguished recognition
- Keep to the structure rules: four to six clubs in each area on 1 July, and at least four areas in each division
- Recommend later changes to which area a club is in; the executive committee adopts them by a two-thirds vote
What you’ll gain
- See how the whole district fits together, and help shape its structure
Who we’re looking for
- A Division Director, or a member of the division chosen by its Division Director with the District Director’s approval

How this role is filled
The District Director appoints the chair and members by 1 January. The members are the Division Directors, or a member of the division a Division Director chooses, with the District Director’s approval.
- Term
- From appointment through 15 July, at the start of the next program year
