Report of the District 39 Toastmasters Alignment Committee
May 20, 2017
The District 39 Toastmasters Alignment committee formed in late February 2017.
The Members are:
Russ Steele, Chair
Wes Johnson
Kathie O’Ray
Kristi Beres
In addition, the current district trio, Sondra Nunez, District Director; Zack Souza, Program Quality Director and Jane Taff,
Club Growth Director are included in all committee correspondence.
The Goals of the Committee are
To the greatest extent possible, leave the current structure of the District intact as it has been very effective for this year
Make changes when members can be served more efficiently and effectively, or where the current structure violates the Toastmasters International rules for structure of an Area, Division or District.
On February 28, a first draft of the proposed alignment for each of the Divisions in District 39 for the 2017-2018 year was sent to the Alignment Committee, the District Trio, the current Division and Area Directors for each Division (for their Division only) and declared Division Governor candidates for next year (for their Division only) with a request for initial feedback. We received feedback from Toastmasters in Division F and Division H. The feedback from F and H was considered in the first proposed alignment. The initial report was presented at the March 11th DECM. At the DECM and in the days immediately following, we received extensive feedback from Divisions J and H as well as some information from clubs that have informed us that they do not plan to continue.
The proposed changes to alignment at this point are:
Diamond moving from Division F Area 62 to Division H Area 84 for geographical alignment reasons
All about Photography moving from Division J Area 3 to Division H Area 81 for geographical alignment reasons
SPS BSD in Division H moving from Area 84 to Area 81 to balance the number of clubs in each Area for the Division
Several changes to Division J made at the request of the Division Leadership, including: o 20/20 Visionaries and Social Toasters moving from J1 to J2 o Power Talkers moving from J4 to J3
This proposed alignment will result in a total of 6 clubs in the District changing alignment. We recommend that the District Council adopt this alignment as proposed for District 39 for the 2017-2018 Toastmasters Year. Russ Steele, DTM, PDG District 39 Alignment Committee Chair

Proposal for Standing Rule #7
Motion:
Create Standing Rule #7: District 39 shall host the Sacramento Leadership Breakfast on a date which does not conflict with the Sacramento Academic Decathlon.
Proposal for Standing Rule #6
Motion:
Create Standing Rule #6: District 39 shall continue to support both the Speech Evaluation and Humorous Speech contests up to the Division Level during the fall of each year as allowed by the policy of Toastmasters International.
Standing Rule #3 Review --Conference Rotation
Current Standing Rule #3.
All district conferences are placed on a nine-year calendar alternating locations
for both fall and spring to give each division equal opportunity to approve the
budget and elect executive candidates. The host Division Director and/or his/her
representative shall be the Conference Chair, unless otherwise appointed by the
District Director.
Proposed Standing Rule #3
All District Conferences are placed on a five-year calendar, with Spring
conferences chaired by teams consisting of two Divisions. The host Division
Directors shall be Conference Co-Chairs, unless otherwise appointed by the
District Director.
Suggested Rotation
Fall 2017 Division B (in progress)
Spring 2018 Divisions E and J
Spring 2019 Divisions G and H
Spring 2020 Divisions D and I
Spring 2021 Divisions C and F
Spring 2022 Divisions A and B
Discussion Points
1. Since the Fall conferences are being eliminated, only the Spring Conference
remains. Instead of waiting for a ten-year rotation to have an opportunity
to host, a five- year rotation of teamed Divisions is proposed. This will
allow more frequent leadership and committee opportunities for members.
2. Divisions are paired based on geography.
3. Pairing Divisions also provides team development and fosters collaboration
within leadership.
4. Sacramento and Reno have “centralized locations” where the greatest
percentage of participants attend. Fewer members would incur hotel and
travel expenses in addition to more “local” people being to attend.
5. Sacramento and Reno have established venues to support the size of our
group. For example, the District already has relationships with the Marriott
and Crowne Plaza that we can leverage for better pricing.
6. Corporate sponsorships are more also likely to be obtained in larger areas.
This can be important as costs increase every year.
7. Sacramento and Reno have international airports, so less time would be
spent driving guest speakers to venues; more time can be spent to meet
and talk with members.
8. The District has the ultimate responsibility to hold the annual Council
Meetings in a location that offers the best opportunity to have a quorum in
order to conduct District business.

May 20, 2017 Dear District 39 Members, District Motto: “All members deserve to belong to a distinguished club.”
District Guiding Principle: “District 39 advances a division leadership model which empowers Area Directors to help all clubs create a dynamic member experience.” District Mission: “We build new clubs and support all clubs in achieving excellence.” Special Committee: District Calendar, Contests and Conferences:
With the new policy from Toastmasters International to host a single district conference starting in 2018, members have expressed frustration and shared ideas on contests, conference structure, leadership breakfasts and scheduling district events on the calendar. These requests cross several areas of responsibility, including site selection, budget approval, and standing rules. As a result, I submitted a charter proposal for the formation of a special committee comprised of members across divisions and with expectations to deliver recommendations on standing rules, event dates, contests and conference structure. The proposal is attached as an addendum to this report. Strong Clubs and Divisional Leadership Model:
The District continues to emphasize the 20 member club through the Perfect 10 Club Recognition Program, Phoenix Club Recognition Program and the Base Jump Recognition Program. The District also continues to support the divisional leadership model with initiatives to encourage club visits be completed early, and compliments the Fall Gold Medal Division Program. Recognition:

Charter for 2017-2018 Special Committee: District Calendar, Contests & Conferences (DCCC) Executive Summary:
Toastmasters International changed the district conference policy on the frequency from two per year to one per year. Districts in the northern hemisphere will once per year meet in the spring. Toastmasters International (TI) has also indicated districts focus on education and training in the fall season. Given the change in frequency the district needs to review all areas of conference planning, scheduling and logistics. Along with the planning of conferences, the district needs to also evaluate other dependent functions, policies and activities that rely on the conferences. These dependent functions include, but are not limited to speech contest rotation, standing rules, executive meetings, and budget approvals by the district council. Committee Scope & Deliverables:
The Special Committee on District Calendar, Contests & Conferences (DCCC) will report to the Standing Rules Committee (SRC) and deliver revised standing rules on conference rotation, conference location and speech contest rotation to be presented by the Standing Rules Committee at the 2017 Fall Conference District Council Meeting for review and approval. In addition to revised standing rules, the SDC will provide recommendations to the District Council on several other priorities. Given information, clarity and established procedures are forth coming from TI, the committee should adjust the timeline of deliverables with a sensitivity to possible changes from TI. TI policies supersede recommendations and findings of the committee. Priorities & Deliverables:
Form Committee – Deadline: July 31, 2017
District Director forms DCCC with representatives from all divisions. Standing Rule #3 Review – Deadline: September 30, 2017 (Dependent on TI Policies)
DCCC provides to the SRC recommended revision to Standing Rule #3. “All district conferences are placed on a ten year calendar alternating locations for both fall and spring to give each division equal opportunity to approve the budget and elect executive candidates. The host Division Director and/or his/her representative shall be the Conference Chair, unless otherwise appointed by the District Director.” Conference Scope, Schedule & Costs – Deadline: TBD (Dependent on TI Policies)
DCCC provides to the District Council recommendations on conference scope, scheduling, length, costs and logistics of the annual district conference. District Budget Approval Process – Deadline: TBD (Dependent on TI Policies)
DCCC provides to the District Council a recommended policy after TI provides guidance on the acceptable process for the district to approve the budget. Leadership Breakfasts – Deadline: TBD
DCCC provides to the District Council a recommended policy on leadership breakfast rotation for further action. Speech Contest Rotation & Scope – Deadline: TBD (Dependent on TI Policies)
DCCC provides to the District Council a recommended policy on speech contest rotation for further action. Recommended Annual District Calendar – Deadline: TBD
DCCC provides to the District Council a recommended policy on a comprehensive scheduling of all major events, including, but not limited to, annual conferences, leadership breakfasts and speech contest rotation for further action.

Toastmasters Where Leaders are Made!
The core values of Toastmasters International are integrity, dedication to excellence, service to the member and respect for the individual. Leaders of District 39, you have once again proven why you are among the best Toastmasters has to offer. In year three of our five year district plan, more and more members continue to step out of their clubs and step up to district leadership positions. Your commitment to support low member clubs, mentor new members and live our core values continues to make District 39 a place where all members feel safe in taking advantage of the opportunity to learn and grow. Because of your work and your actions, District 39 is a place we are all proud to serve. The Toastmasters journey is not “one size fits all”, it is an individual communication and leadership process which gives each one of us what we need, when we need it, and allows us to apply the skills we have learned in our professional, community and personal lives. Working through our own Toastmasters journey allows us to become someone greater than we were before. Working the program gives us the opportunity to learn how to present the best of ourselves to the world. It is not a journey of PASS or FAIL. It is a journey of LEARN and GROW. Allowing yourself to take on the challenge of club and district leadership this year, you have achieved success by becoming greater than when you started. You have become a better speaker, a better mentor, a better listener, a better leader. The impact you have had on me and everyone around you is irreplaceable. Thank you to every club and district leader for your continued dedication to excellence and for your service to our members. As our district continues to grow and adjust to coming changes, we need you to help make decisions which will shape our future. There will be many opportunities at both the division and district levels for your continued leadership journey: Pathways Guide, Club Officer Trainer, District Club Growth Team Member, Division Chief Judge, Division Assist. Program Quality Director, Division Assist. Club Growth Director, Division Youth Leadership Chair. These positions are vital to the success of our vision of strengthening the division Leadership model, building new clubs and ensuring all members belong to a distinguished club. I encourage you to speak to me, a trio member or a division director to learn more about how these positions can help you continue to learn and grow.
Thank you for making the 2016-2017 Toastmasters year a wonderful experience!
