Annual Awards:

Every year, District 109 recognizes Toastmasters members who have contributed through dedication and exceptional service with annual awards.

This form contains a suggested checklist system that the District may use in selecting an Area Director of the Year, Division Director of the Year and a District Toastmaster of the Year.

  • District Outstanding Toastmaster of the Year: This is typically awarded to a Toastmaster who is not a top District Officer, Division Director, or Area Director but contributes to the District’s goals and mission.

  • Area Director of the Year: This award recognizes an Area Director whose dedication, commitment, and area team significantly contributed towards achieving the district mission. The nomination form gives you an idea of what Toastmasters expects from a good Area Director. Nevertheless, sometimes it´s not only the statistical performance that makes the difference and adds to the District´s success.

  • Division Director of the Year: Given annually to the Division Directorwith the most outstanding performance in membership building and retention, club extension, education/training, leadership, and other areas critical to district success.
