Area Director (30)
As Area Director, you serve as the direct liaison between the District and the clubs. The District Administrative Bylaws provide for the selection of Area Directors by appointment by the District Director. Toastmasters International recommends that District Directors appoint Area Directors. Area Directors conduct club visits twice a year within their respective areas to understand and support club needs. In turn, these visits help District leaders understand how to support and meet the needs of each club. It is important that Area
Directors have the support they need to serve clubs. The success of the District depends on it. Area Directors are eligible for re-election or re-appointment for one succeeding term only. Ideally, Area Directors have
served as members of a District Council.

You are eligible for re-appointment for one succeeding term only. The office of Administration Manager and Finance Manager may be combined.
Finance Manager
As the Finance Manager, you are tasked with the fiscal oversight and management of the District. The Finance Manager works closely with the District Director, Program Quality Director, and Club Growth Director to ensure that the District is making cost-effective decisions—within policy—that result in effective fiscal management. The Finance Manager should have knowledge of accounting and be acquainted with the handling of financial
matters. The Finance Manager will be appointed at the discretion of the District Director, subject to the approval of the District Executive Committee and confirmation by the District Council. You are eligible for re-election or re-
appointment for one succeeding term only. The office of Administration Manager and Finance Manager may be combined.
