6 Preamble This document serves two purposes: (1) To provide a compilation of guidelines and references to assist the district council in executing the policies and protocols of Toastmasters International ("Tl"); and (2) To document and preserve the traditions and unique culture of District 65. This document is designed to make the pertinent policies of Tl understandable to the voting members of the district council and the district executive committee. This document summarizes and recounts many of the procedures of particular relevance to District 65 leadership to provide a readily accessible treatment of the subject. All members of the district council and particularly those of the district executive committee are strongly encouraged to review its contents. The governing documents of Toastmasters International, which provide the basis of these district procedures are the District Administrative Bylaws, Policies and Protocol, Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Toastmasters International, and Club Constitution and Standard Bylaws for Clubs of Toastmasters International ("Tl Policies"). Furthermore, members of the district council are encouraged to review the original source materials and the sections of these documents that pertain to matters at hand. The full text of these referenced documents can be found at the Tl website ( This document also provides guidance where Tl policies or protocol are silent or vague, thus defining District 65 traditions and unique aspects of District 65 culture. Guidance for many standing committees and description of functions not described elsewhere are also included. Details related to awards, trophies and other district traditions provide historical context and help preserve the richness of the District 65 culture. Changes should be done through a process of public discussion at the district executive committee meetings and district council meetings. Finally, proper maintenance of the District 65 Procedures Manual requires annual review by the procedures committee for accuracy and consistency with current practice and adherence to Tl policy requirements. The work of the procedures committee ensures the relevance of this document and improves the prospect that future generations will abide by and benefit from its guidance. Review and debate amongst the district council on the contents is thus healthy and encouraged. The incoming and outgoing district executive team will also review this document jointly during the transition period to enhance understanding of our procedures and communicate changes. Page 6

13 committee, audit committee) are to be presented in writing to the district director no later than October 1st for the fall district council business meeting or March 1st for the spring district council business meeting, and published in the meeting agenda.

Quorum for District Council Meetings: Article X of the District Administrative Bylaws states that a quorum must be present at the district council meeting. The quorum for the district council meetings will be determined by the credentials committee chair assigned for that meeting. A quorum is defined as one-third (1/3) of the presidents and vice presidents education (or proxies) from member clubs in the district District officers may not be counted in the quorum even though they are voting members of the district council (unless they also happen to be a club president or vice president education or hold the proxy for either of said two club officers.) A member, who is a club president or a club vice president education, or who is holding the proxy or proxies for said club officers, but who is not also a district officer, shall be entitled to carry and vote no more than two (2) votes at a district council meeting. A district officer, who is also a club president and/or a club vice president education or is holding the proxy or proxies for said officers, may carry and vote a maximum of three possible votes at a district council meeting. 8. Reports by District Executive Committee: It is recommended that in addition to the other members of the district executive committee, the division directors shall be given two (2) minutes each to report the progress of their divisions toward reaching their goals for the year. This allows the division leaders to gain valuable experience in the art of succinctly and meaningfully addressing the district council and allows the district council to hear from and get to know current and potential future district leaders. B. Guidelines for District Committees 1. District committees will be provided with copies of applicable policies and procedures to assist them in performing their functions. 2. Other committee guidelines will be defined as needed as said committees may change from year to year. 3. All district committees will have the opportunity to address the district council at least once per Toastmasters year. C. Guidelines for Leadership Committee Page 13 The following serves as additional guidelines for the leadership committee:

14 1. The district director and leadership committee of District 65 shall follow Tl Policies for the district leadership committee. The district director will instruct the committee to review the rules. 2. Candidates are to be evaluated by written materials supplied by the candidates and, if the committee chooses, by interviews. At a minimum, interviews will be conducted when: (a) the position is contested; (b) the position sought is one of the top three district offices; or (c) the committee has reservations about the candidate's qualifications. Additional research by committee members regarding a candidate's qualifications, including collecting feedback from others who have worked with the candidate is also recommended. All candidates who qualify for the position which they seek will be placed on the slate of candidates, regardless of the leadership committee's recommendations. 3. All candidates will be briefed as to the issues of mailings, campaign speeches, nominating speeches, those ineligible to nominate or campaign, and Tl Policies on political and campaign ethics. Further, floor candidates must follow all policies and protocols for candidates; yet, opportunities provided for in the following section will not be available to floor candidates. D. Guidelines for District Officer Campaigns and Elections The following will serve as guidelines for the district director in conducting the annual election of district officers: 1. Prior to the election, the district director will ensure that all candidates receive a copy of the Tl Policies for campaigns for district office and the elections of district officers, in addition to a copy of the District 65 Procedures Manual. 2. At the annual spring conference district council meeting, timing of nominating speeches for candidates will be as follows: (a) a warning will be given by the timer at one ( 1) minute and thirty (30) seconds; and (b) the timer will lead the applause at two (2) minutes. Page All communications and activities endorsing a candidate, either by the candidate or by supporters of the candidate, will focus on the candidate's Toastmasters accomplishments and personal qualifications for office. 4. In keeping with the spirit of Toastmasters, no negative information about candidates will be allowed in written communications meant to be distributed widely or in oral communications at an official Toastmasters meeting or event. 5. All candidates may distribute campaign material at area and division speech contests. All candidates will be allowed to display campaign materials in a candidates' corner at these events, if space is available for a

15 candidates' corner and if all candidates have equal access to and advance knowledge of it. Campaign materials may not be placed on walls, chairs or tables outside of the candidates' corner. 6. All candidates, including floor candidates, for district office in contested races may be allowed to speak at the district conference at a time other than during the annual district council meeting. Such campaign speeches will be given at an appropriate time, place and speech length as identified by the district director, provided that all candidates are given an equal opportunity and are properly notified. The candidate is entitled to two (2) minutes for a campaign speech. 7. The district will send a proxy form to each club president and vice president education in the district at least four (4) weeks in advance of a district council meeting for use in the event either, or both, cannot attend the meeting. This form may also be included on the district webpage, in the district newsletter and/or in the mailing announcing the meeting. The proxy form must contain: a. District number b. Description of event c. Date and location of meeting d. Space for club name and number e. Space for name of club representative to be the proxy holder f. Space for signature of club officer and name of office held by such officer authorizing the club representative to be the proxy holder, and g. The date the proxy is signed. (A proxy form template is provided in Appendix C.) Either the president or the vice president education may provide a proxy to a club member to represent and carry both of the proxies for said officers at the district council meeting. lt is not necessary for each officer to sign a proxy form naming the club representative to carry the proxy. The act of one of the officers signing the proxy form is sufficient for the named proxy holder to carry both votes of the club if neither the president nor the vice president education is planning to attend the district council meeting. E. Guidelines for Appointment of District Officers Page The district director-elect will appoint the following officers: administration manager, finance manager, logistics manager, and area directors. If appointee information is not available, the appointed nominee will be confirmed at the following fall district council meeting. Appointments for these positions are only to be made by the district director-elect. Appointees serve at the pleasure of the incoming district director. 2. Between the spring conference and May 31st, each and every area council may select a nominee to be recommended to the district director-

If district circumstances warrant, this procedure may be adjusted based on the financial status of the district on a year-by-year basis. The reimbursements provided in this procedure may be adjusted by a majority vote of the district executive committee at a meeting held before the fall conference district council meeting and a majority vote of the district council at the district council meeting held at the fall conference. 5. The district will comply with Tl Policies regarding conflicts of interest. 6. The district will have in place financial controls that, at a minimum, meet the requirements of Tl Policies. 7. The district will comply with Tl Policies regarding expenses for International Speech contestants participating in the semifinal level at the international convention. 8.

District Educational Events The district director appoints the fall and spring conference chairman or chairmen and provides guidelines and expectations for the district educational event. It is intended that all district educational events, such as the fall and spring conferences, will be self-funding and will adhere to the following guidelines: a. Approval - all aspects of the event will be approved by the coordinating district officer, principally the program quality director. b. Budget- establish budget to adequately estimate the revenue and expenses of the event. c. Financial Responsibility - the district will retain any profits and absorb any deficits on budgeted expenses of the event. The intent is to break even and not incur a deficit or a profit on the event. Page 20

21 d. Accounting - the event committee will give a full accounting of revenue and expenses to the district finance manager. The records will become a part of the district's permanent records. Area and division contests are district educational events and need to be selffunding. Tlls are not self-funding events. K. Guidelines for Club Officer Trainings 1. The program quality director will be responsible for all trainings and will notify all club officers of the dates, times, and locations of every Toastmasters Leadership Institute (TU) and club officer trainings as soon as practicable. 2. The program quality director is encouraged to use area directors and division directors to secure training locations and dates if the sites were not selected at the beginning of the district year. As long as Tlls are held in the divisions, the respective division directors shall assist with finding site locations for the Tlls and other training events. 3. The program quality director is responsible for the content of the club During any training period, at least one club officer trainings and/or Tlls. officer training will be held in each division. Club officer training may also be conducted in a centralized location. Additional trainings are encouraged to provide many opportunities for club officers to be trained. L. District Conferences Page21 1. It is recommended that the district conference chair should have served on a prior conference committee. 2. The district director will sign any contracts committing the district to arrangements for conference facilities, food, and/or lodging during the district director's term of office, and preferably for the following fall conference after his or her term has ended in consultation with the anticipated, incoming district director. 3. District speech contests taking place on a Friday evening of a district conference will be held on or after 7:00 p.m. 4. Any division will not have a spring conference and a fall conference in one district year. The district conferences currently rotate among the divisions as follows: for one district year, the fall conference will be held in the central division and the spring conference will be held in the eastern division. The next district year, the conferences shall rotate as follows: the fall conference will be held in the southern division and the spring conference will be held in the western division.

25 most outstanding recipient. The data and information included in the nomination form is gathered without the involvement or assistance of the potential recipient. As a consequence, when the recipient's name is announced at the evening banquet, the individual is surprised. Once selected, the committee tries to ensure the attendance of the chosen recipient at the spring conference, without disclosing the reason for why that individual should attend the event. The district provides the funds for the purchase of the plaque to be given to the recipient. The process for selecting the recipient is somewhat similar to the process followed by the nominating/leadership committee. A copy of the sample letter to Club Presidents and Club Vice Presidents Education requesting nominations, the Nomination Form to be completed and a list of the past recipients of the award are included in Appendix E). 11. New Distinguished Toastmasters: Members receiving their DTM designation from Tl subsequent to the last district conference are typically recognized at the district conference. Traditionally, the district provides each recipient with a DTM medallion and, at the discretion of the district director, with a DTM badge from Tl. Commonly, the program quality director presents these awards publicly during a general session at the fall or spring conference, while at the same time, acknowledging all Distinguished Toastmasters in attendance. 12. Membership Recognition Award. The membership award may be given to clubs achieving outstanding membership gains based upon the previous semiannual renewal. (In the fall, recognition is based on April dues payments; and in the spring, recognition is based on October dues payments.) 13. Triple Crown Awards. Members who attain three or more educational achievements within the Toastmasters year (CC, ACB, ACS, ACG, CL, ALB, ALS) are awarded the triple crown award. 14. Training Recognition Award. The training recognition award is given to clubs that had all of their officers trained for the current six-month period. The district director may use this award as part of his or her incentives in his District Plan to get club officers trained. 15. Distinguished Area Recognition. This recognition award may be given to each area director who reaches goals as set forth in the Tl Distinguished Area Program. Awards will be presented by the immediate past district governor/director at the fall conference for the preceding district year. 16. Distinguished Division Recognition. This recognition award may be given to each division director who reaches goals as set forth in the Tl Distinguished Division Program. Awards will be presented by the immediate past district governor/director at the fall conference for the preceding district year. Page 25
