Have you:

• Served at least six months as a club President
• Served at least twelve months as a Division Governor or a Lt. Governor

Are you a leader? Can you inspire others to set high standards for themselves? Do you know how to help others reach goals higher than they believed possible? Can you run a three-ring circus?

If so, consider becoming a District Governor to further develop your leadership skills.

A District Governor serves for a full Toastmasters Year (July 1 through June 30th) to QQQQQQQQQQQQ. This includes:
