Toastmasters Districts are divided into Divisions. Divisions are divided into Areas. Each Area has an Area Governor. The Area Governor is responsible for assuring that the Clubs reach their goals. Each Area Governor should be striving to have a Distinguished Area. Distinguised Areas helps a District become a Distinguished District.

Contests: Areas have semi-annual contests. The contestants are the winners of the Club contests. The winners of the Area contest compete in the Division contests.

Area Council: An Area Governor should have a quarterly Area Council meeting. The Area Council members are the top three club officers, the Assistant Area Governor, and the Area Governor. These meetings have one main focus: finding ways to help the Area clubs meet their needs.
