A letter from Trio – District Realignment

Dear District 90 Members,

We are writing to you together as your District Director, Program Quality Director and Club Growth Director to share an important update.

Toastmasters International has now formally advised that our District will merge with District 70 as part of an organisational realignment, effective 1 July 2026. The new District will be called District 70.

We recognise that this news may come as a surprise, and for many, it may bring a sense of sadness or uncertainty. District 90 has a proud history and a strong identity, and it is natural to feel deeply about this change.

We want to reassure you that these changes are not expected to affect your clubs. At this time, club meetings, Pathways journeys, member support, and learning experiences will continue as normal. Our focus as a leadership team remains unchanged – to support our clubs, serve our members, and ensure high-quality learning and leadership development across our District.

What happens next

  • Further details regarding the timing and practical aspects of the transition will be communicated by Toastmasters International and the Region team.

  • We will share updates with you as soon as information becomes available and confirmed.

  • Throughout this period, District leaders will continue to work collaboratively to ensure clubs are supported, informed and well served.

Our commitment to you

Whatever the structural changes ahead, the heart of Toastmasters remains the same. Our community, our friendships and our commitment to personal growth and leadership development continue. We will move forward with our heads held high, continuing to build strong clubs and provide the best possible learning experiences for our members.

Thank you for your resilience, your dedication and your ongoing support of Toastmasters.

With respect and care,

Ramani Warusevitane, DTM
District Director

Nellie Beggs, DTM
Program Quality Director

Elizabeth Lloyd, DTM
Club Growth Director
