Dear Toastmasters and Friends,
We are thrilled to unveil the theme of this year's District 96 Conference: "Spring to a New Centennial"! This captivating theme encapsulates our upcoming journey towards further growth, renewal, and the dawn of a new era as we celebrate and build on a century of excellence.
Dear Fellow District 96 Toastmasters,
It takes a village to plan a major District conference. And there is no greater opportunity for our members to learn and grow their leadership skills than by serving on the Conference Planning Committee!
We need YOUR help!
We are interviewing candidates NOW for the July 1st 2024 to June 30th Toastmaster year. Interviews conclude 6-weeks before the April 13th, 2024 District Elections.
Is there a fellow District 96 Toastmaster you respect? Nominate them!
Nominating someone is a compliment. You are telling them they made a difference to you. Want to learn something new? You can even Nominate yourself!
