District Toastmaster of the Year: This is typically awarded to a Toastmaster who is not a top District Officer, Division Director or Area Director, but who makes a significant contribution to the goals and mission of the District.
Area Director of the Year: dedication, commitment, and area team significantly contributed towards achieving the district mission. Division Director of the Year: most outstanding performance in membership building and retention, club extension, education/training, leadership and other areas critical to district success. District Officer of the Year: you decide!
Area Directors have already chosen their Outstanding Clubs, Club Officers or Members for recognition.

Thank you District 59 Club Presidents
and ExCom members
for maintaining stability throughout this see-saw year: post-pandemic, little pandemic, oops! the pandemic is back again!
Your commitment to your clubs and District 59 is evident.
As we move once again toward Toastmaster optimism and live meetings for many, our membership numbers will continue to increase 2022-2023.
By being the "super glue" bond, you have made your club's foundation stronger for your successors.
Thank you to Agora 75 Club President, Kate Parvis, for the image idea of glue and the bond.
And District 59 Club Presidents -- THANK YOU!!
