What the Heck is the DEC?

What in the World is the DEC?! Your VIP Pass to District Power! 🚀

Ever felt like there’s some secret club running the show behind the scenes? Well, you’re not wrong, but it’s less “secret society” and more “superhero squad“! We’re talking about the District Executive Committee—the DEC!

Think of the DEC as the brain, heart, and muscle of our entire Toastmasters District. It’s where all the brilliant minds come together to make magic happen.

Who’s in this epic team, you ask?

It’s our fearless District Trio (that’s our District Director, Program Quality Director, and Club Growth Director).

Plus our Public Relations Manager, District Administration Manager, District Finance Manager.

Every single Division Director.

All the awesome Area Directors, and even our wise Featherduster Immediate Past District Director.

Basically, all the rockstars! 🌟

So, What’s on the DEC’s Super-Agenda?

These folks aren’t just sipping coffee and chatting!

The DEC is where we roll up our sleeves and get down to business, ensuring our District mission is crushing it and every single club is thriving. Here’s a sneak peek at their superpower list:

• Plotting World Domination (Toastmasters Style!): They’re the masterminds behind the District Success Plan, making sure we’re always moving forward and achieving awesome goals.
  
• Keeping the Ship Sailing Smoothly: From daily operations to making sure everyone’s got what they need, they’re the ultimate navigators.
  
• Money Talks! (And They Listen!): The DEC approves budgets, keeps a keen eye on our finances, and makes sure every penny helps our clubs shine brighter.
  
• Club Whisperers & Growth Gurus: They strategise on how to help new clubs sprout up, keep our existing members happy, and spread the word about how incredible Toastmasters is!
  
• Training Time & Epic Events: Get ready for awesome District conferences, top-notch training sessions, and all the cool events that make our Toastmasters journey unforgettable. They plan it all!
  
• The Brain Trust Sessions: They meet at least 4 times a year (and sometimes more!), ensuring they’re always connected, making vital decisions, and keeping the District on track. Your attendance helps them hit that crucial quorum to make things official!
  
• The Big Picture Thinkers: They’re always reviewing reports, recommendations, and even handling the tricky stuff like ethics, all to keep our District a safe, fun, and high-quality environment.

Your Vote, Your Voice, Your Impact!

Here’s the kicker: as an Area or Division Director, they’re not just a spectator; they’re a vital player!

They have a vote, and their insights literally help shape the future of our entire District. Their voice echoes through every decision made.

So, next time the DEC meeting notification pops up, remember: this isn’t just another meeting. It’s a chance to show up, speak up, and be the hero that makes our Toastmasters clubs not just good, but absolutely legendary!

Let’s make some magic happen! ✨
