District Executive Committee

On this page, we will try to keep you updated as precisely as possible with the DEC meetings, through the publishing of their minutes.

What is the DISTRICT Executive Committee?

There are two types of governing bodies in every District: District Council Members (DCM), and the District Executive Committee (DEC).
These two groups have complementary purposes, actions, perimeters.

If you are a District Officer (Area Director, Division Director, or Core Team Officer), you will be part of both DCM and DEC. The Club President and Club Vice President Education are also members in the DCM.

The District Director, the Program Quality Director, the Club Growth Director, the District Public Relations Manager, the District Administration Manager, the District Finance Manager, the Area Directors, and Division Directors, together with the Immediate Past District Director, shall be the District Executive Committee, which shall have all functions and powers of the District Council except such powers as may be reserved by the District Council to itself; subject at all times to the general direction and approval of the District Council.

A majority of the District Executive Committee shall constitute a quorum. This committee shall recommend the division of the District into Areas and Divisions for approval at the annual meeting. The District Executive Committee shall prepare a budget in the form prescribed by Toastmasters International, covering estimated receipts and expenditures for the ensuing year, and shall submit it to the District Council for approval in order to submit the approved budget to World Headquarters by September 30. This proposed budget shall be acted upon by the District Council at its first meeting. The District Executive Committee shall have such other duties as are delegated to it by the District Council.
