District 65 Toastmasters Members:
The District Alignment Committee for 2022-2023 has completed the task of reviewing the alignment of Toastmasters clubs and has recommended changes to enable Areas and Divisions to be more successful.
Our District Alignment Committee was composed of a representative from each Division and one Past District Governor. I am happy to say that each member of the committee agrees with the proposed changes.
Please note that in the past few years, the number of Toastmasters clubs has decreased significantly, by some 30 clubs. Additionally, many clubs remain far below the charter strength and many clubs have fewer than ten members.
The following are the changes made to the Divisions/Areas:
- Division A:
- The Advanced Toastmaster Club and Speak Up Toastmasters were moved into Division A
- Division B:
- Removed the Division B in its entirety.
Changes are noted on alignment table. Moved clubs from the original Division B into Division C, following the requirements to have 4-6 clubs per area. This was done coordinating with the respective Division Directors impacted. Changes are noted on the alignment table.
- Division C:
- Renumbered Area Numbers
- Moved clubs so that each area met District requirements to have 4-6 clubs per area. Note the closure of Lyceum Toastmasters Club.
- Division D:
- The Hornell Area Toastmasters Club was moved to Division D. Members and guests who have contacted the club are often from the Corning area and the club is closer geographically, to the Division D.
- There were no other changes to Division D.
- Division E:
- No changes made in Division E.
Summary:
Beginning the next Toastmasters year (July 2023) there will only be FOUR Divisions and 14 areas in District 65 (a reduction of one division and three areas). As new clubs will be built, the four divisions will be able to accommodate approximately 20 clubs within the current alignment structure. This alignment accommodates some 70 clubs. Future alignments will accommodate additional Areas, where required.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve District 65 Toastmasters organization. Below is the proposed alignment for District 65 clubs.
Sincerely,
Ellen O’Connor Pieklo, DTM/PDD, 2022-2023 District 65 Alignment Committee Chair
