Toastmasters International Governing Documents

Each District is governed by the Bylaws, Policy, and Protocol of the organization; the District Administrative Bylaws is the governing document that specifically addresses District leadership and operations. 

District 84 Procedures

While Districts cannot create policy, they do have the ability to implement procedure manuals that capture operational processes at the District level. The District Executive Committee or the District Business Council approved the initial implementation of these procedures and must approve any subsequent or future updates.
