Dear District Council Member:
In accordance with the District Bylaws, I have enclosed a call for the next District Council
meeting to be held at the 2015 Spring District Conference at 3:00PM* on Saturday, May 9,
2015.
Included in the call is a copy of the Agenda for the District Council Meeting, a copy of the
District Nominating Committee, the report of the 2015 District Realignment Committee, and a
two sided proxy if you are the President or Vice President Education of a club. If it is not
possible for you to attend this meeting, it is important that you sign this proxy and have a
member in good standing (dues paid) of your club bring the proxy and vote on your behalf.
Such a club member may carry up to two proxies. The credentials package containing your
voting card may be picked up at the Credentials Table upon registration. You must pick up
your credentials kit to vote. The Credentials table closes 1 hour prior to the Council Meeting
which is scheduled to begin at 3:00PM.
The District Council is comprised of the President and Vice President Education of each club,
plus all voting District Officers. The 39 voting District officers are: 26 Area Governors, 7
Division Governors, Immediate Past District Governor, District Governor, Lt. Governor
Education & Training, Lt. Governor Marketing, District Secretary, and the District Treasurer.
These District officers may vote only in person, not by proxy. However, these District
Officers may also carry up to two (2) proxies from a club in which they are a member in
good standing. A full third of the total club officer votes must be present in person or by
proxy for a quorum to be achieved.
Please study the enclosed 2015 – 2016 District Club Realignment proposal and feel free to
ask me or our Lt. Gov. Education & Training, Sharon Mercado, any questions that you may
have about it prior to the meeting to help save time during the actual business meeting.
You may go to the District 53 website (d53.toastmastersdistricts.org) for conference
information and registration. District Conferences provide both wonderful educational
experiences and unique networking opportunities. Please promote the District 53 Spring
Conference within your club and encourage attendance.
I am looking forward to seeing each of you at the Spring Conference.

• TO DO on the day of the Conference and prior to Council Meeting:
o Members of the District Council, or their designated proxy, must Register at the
Credentials Table/Desk located adjacent to (or near) the Conference Registration Table. Be
prepared to identify your name, office, and Club number to receive your Credentials

responsible for them. Do not lose them!

Requirements for Emailed Proxies
In lieu of a signed proxy, the authorizing Club Officer can send an email proxy to the Credentials
Chairman, Bob Bradshaw. This email authorizes the person carrying the proxy to vote on their behalf.
However, a signed proxy is better, if it can be provided, and then carried to the Conference by the
person being authorized by the proxy, or FAXed to the Credentials Chair in advance of the Conference.
The FAX # is: (860) 354 - 9893
If a proxy is to be sent by email, the preferred way is to edit one of the sample proxies (WORD .doc or
pdf) that have been sent to the Club electronically, and then send it as an attachment to an email
explaining what is being done. Email proxies can be sent to the Credentials Chair in advance of the
Conference at:
[email protected]
If a proxy generated by the Authorizing Officer is used, it must contain all of the information required
for a valid signed proxy (See enclosed blank proxy form) which is:
•
Name of the Authorizing Officer
•
Office the Authorizing Officer holds
•
Club Name & Number
•
Name of the Club Member being authorized
•
A statement authorizing the Club Member to vote on behalf of the Club, as the representative of the
Officer granting the proxy, at the District Council (Business Meeting) to be held on the date specified
•
The name of the Authorizing Officer must also appear where the proxy is to be signed. The name in
the same font as the above information will suffice as an electronic signature.
Editing one of the sample proxies that have been sent to the Club is the best way to make sure all
required information has been included.
Emailed Proxies must be sent from the email address on file @ WHQ for the Authorizing
Officer. That will be checked before the proxy is accepted.
Club Officer Lists @ WHQ must be kept current including any changes that occur just before
the Conference for both electronic & paper proxies. If changes are submitted to WHQ near
the Conference date, call WHQ prior to the Conference, and verify that they have been
recorded.
The person who is being authorized voting privileges by the proxy must be an active member
in good standing of the Club they will be voting for.
To be able to vote at the District Council, the person being authorized to carry the proxy will
still have to pick up their Credentials at the Credentials Desk before Credentials closes,
usually around 1 hour before the Business Meeting starts.
Please follow these procedures to assure your club’s votes and to establish a quorum at our business
meeting.

Occasionally during this meeting, the Chair will use a procedure called ‘unanimous
consent’. This will be done to expedite business where there appears to be no
questions or concerns. You will hear the phrase ‘without objection’ or ‘If there is no
objection’ used in each case. If you want an issue to be debated and voted on, in
a more formal manner, simply call out ‘objection’ or ‘I object’, and we will do so.
Reminder who the voting members are and what they are allowed to do
The members of the District Council are: Club Presidents, Vice Presidents of
Education, or their proxies, and the members of the District 53 Executive
Committee. Only members of the District Council may speak in debate, make,
second or vote on motions. To address this Council Meeting, after being
recognized, please stand, show the ballot strip you received from Credentials, and
clearly state your name and the Club you are representing so that Lisa Miller can
keep accurate records for today’s meeting.

2015-2016 District 53 Club Alignment Proposal
Alignment Committee:
Paul McNamara
Dave Pelland
Darrell Fox
Tom Lore
Michael Lavery
Dianne Johanson
Val Albert
District Alignment Summary
The committee had 1 formal meeting with the majority of participants on a conference
call. Others were done via email and adjustments and corrections were made as
suggestions were proposed and analyzed. With the exception of Hawley, Committee
Chair, all others are currently Division Governors who worked with their Area Governors
to ensure the final proposal was agreed to by all parties and the personal experiences
each had throughout the year was considered in order to make next year even better.
The proposed 2015-2016 Alignment is as follows
7 Divisions
7 Division Governors (A through G)
31 Areas (4 and 5 Areas per Division)
31 Area Governors
District Alignment Requirements
Districts must review and amend, if necessary, their alignment of the clubs, areas, and
divisions once each year. The alignment is subject to the approval of the district council at
its annual business meeting in April/May. Changes cannot be made after the approval by
the council, so it’s important to ensure that the alignment is correct and will be effective
throughout the year.
Timelines and Expectations
It will be important for the district leadership team to define expectations and the
challenge of the alignment committee to ensure their efforts are appropriately executed.
District leaders should take necessary time to discuss strategy with the committee. Here’s
a proposed schedule for your district’s use:
• December: Form an Alignment Committee. Orient the committee and ensure that they
have the background, resources and information necessary to prepare an effective
alignment
• January-February: The committee does its work. They should contact clubs and area
and division governors for input, especially where changes are being considered.
• February/March: Working with the district leaders, the committee prepares the
alignment proposal and provides it to the district executive committee for review and
change, if necessary. If questions arise during the process, feel free to contact District
Services at WHQ. The district needs to send out appropriate notice to clubs.
• April/May: Final alignment is approved by the district council.
• June/July: Report alignment to WHQ and provide clubs, areas and divisions with the
final alignment.
!

!
!
Important Considerations
Align newly-chartered clubs to the area that makes geographic sense and will maximize
service to the club. Beware of aligning a club based on who helped charter it or who the
sponsors and mentors are. Establish alignment based on providing the best service to the
club and not on recognition in the distinguished programs. Advanced clubs or other clubs
that have members sharing a special interest cannot be segregated into separate areas
or divisions and should be integrated with other clubs in the district. Clubs that charter
after the alignment is approved by the district council and prior to June 30 as well as after
July 1 must be placed into existing areas. Remember, once the district council approves
the alignment no changes can be made, so it is important that the committee put together
a strong alignment plan.
Things to Consider While Aligning:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Remain within TI policy
Each division must have a minimum of 3 areas
Each area must have a minimum of 4 clubs and no more than 6 clubs
Geographic aspects
Plan for possible growth and possible loss
Discuss potential changes with current district leaders and area and division
governors
Strategically align the clubs within areas and divisions with focus on the benefits for all
Communicate the alignment with clubs, areas and divisions.
Once the alignment has been approved by the district council, there can be no
changes made, so make sure the alignment is correct.
Provide the information to WHQ as soon as possible but no later than July 15.
Please note: Alignments that do not meet TI policy requirements cannot be accepted.
The alignment committee will need to ensure that the alignment is within TI policy prior to
bringing it forward to vote and submission to WHQ.
Clubs that have not yet chartered cannot count in total number of clubs per area.
Special thanks to District 53’s previous alignment committee, district and club
leaders for their input!
