District Director Greetings

SEPTEMBER 2023

The Trio had the opportunity to attend the 2023 International Convention in the Bahamas. We are inspired and motivated to lead the district to Smedley Distinguished. We expect great things this program year.  As your DD, I invite all District 43 members to join us in 2024 as we walk across the stage in Anaheim, California to claim our award!

This program year, we will have some ambitious goals that will enhance the member experience:

  1. Robust Public Relations and Communication Plan that will recognize members and club achievements.  In addition, we will utilize Social media platforms and leverage our district website.
  2. Build Sustainable Clubs that will lead to exceptional club quality.  We are looking to increase the number of clubs with 20 or more members.  Currently, we have 32 clubs with more than 20 or more members. I would like us to increase that number to 40 by the end of the year.
  3. Build a pipeline to leadership in District 43.  Afterall, Toastmasters is “Where Leaders are made”, we need a sustainable pipeline to continue to keep District 43 current with the progression of the organization.  We would like to see all Area Director roles filled by February so that the incoming team will have an opportunity to shadow the current Area Directors.  This will make the responsibilities simplified and 6 months to learn the role.
  4. Increase participation in Members Matter Monthly Meetup.  We offer great opportunities for members to network as well as develop and grow.

We have work to do, but together, we can make it happen.  I am asking that you commit to attending at least one Members Matter Monthly Meetup, recruiting at least one new member, completing at least one level in pathways, and move into leadership in your club or in the district.

When we all work together, we will grow together.  Many hands make light work.  I look forward to celebrating your accomplishments this program year!!!!

Sincerely,

Jackie Houser
District 43 Director
