Do you like meeting minutes? Do you know what is important for posterity, and all else involved? Can you take dictation?

If so, consider becoming a District Secretary to further develop your objective and detailed notetaking skills.

A District Secretary serves for a full Toastmasters Year (July 1 through June 30th) to track and record district functions. This recording includes:

• Attend and participate in district training programs
• Assume responsibility for all district correspondence
• Record and keep minutes of executive committee and district council meetings
• Serve as custodian of the District Administrative Bylaws and policies

You may be asking yourself, "What's in it for me?" While no two of us are exactly alike, here are some ways that being a District Secretary may benefit you.

• Stretch your leadership and communication skills
• Be part of a team that provides directions for a large organization
• Expand your network of enthusiastic, dedicated Toastmasters
• Receive recognition
