Dear Fellow Toastmasters,

I hope this message finds each of you in a vibrant state and eager to begin a new Toastmasters year. With great joy and steadfast commitment, I assume the role of District Director as we embark together on our journey under the 2024-2025 District 33 focus of “Empower, Transform, Excel.”

This focus profoundly resonates with keeping our priorities clear; when we concentrate our resources on these priorities, we will achieve success.

• Empower your voice to ensure you feel valued and engaged with Toastmasters, nurturing your involvement for years to come, and helping you achieve your communication and leadership goals.
• Transform officers into strong leaders through comprehensive training, mentorship, and experiential learning, enabling them to lead their clubs, areas, and divisions to excellence.
• Excel in fostering growth in our clubs and membership by chartering new clubs early in the Toastmasters year, consistently adding more clubs, and attracting new members as the year progresses, ensuring our district thrives and grows.

These priorities serve as our compass as we navigate the year, striving for personal and collective growth in alignment with our District Mission: We Build New Clubs and Support All Clubs in Achieving Excellence.

As your District Director, I am committed to fostering an environment where every member feels empowered to achieve their goals, where transformational experiences are nurtured through our programs, and where we collectively excel in our pursuit of exceptional growth and excellence.

I am excited about the journey ahead and confident in our ability to achieve great things together. Let’s show everyone why District 33 is truly great!
Here’s to a year filled with empowerment, satisfaction, and continued engagement!

To your continued success,

Nico Martin, DTM
Toastmasters International
District 33 District Director, 2024-2025
