CGD & Chair of the District Alignment Committee Eri Teshima announced the first draft of the 2018-2019 club alignment including a newly proposed Division I.
This Division I will become official after it is approved at the District Council Meeting to be held on May 12. We need to be prepared in advance for such an approval. Accordingly, we will call for Division I Director candidates.
クラブ担当ディレクターおよびクラブ編成委員会委員長の豊嶋 依里さんより新ディビジョンIを加えたクラブ編成 2018-2019 -第一案が発表されました。
このディビジョンは5月12日に開 催されるディストリクト評議会に於いて承認後正式なものとなりま す。この承認に備えて事前に準備をする必要があります。
よって新 ディビジョンIのディレクターを募集いたします。

次のフォームにディビジョン I ディレクターの自薦、他薦をご記入ください。

Please use the above form to nominate yourself or others for Division I Director.

Application period: Feb. 12(Mon) ~ March 11(Sun)

以下が国際本部からの本件に関する説明です。
Here’s the explanation of Toastmasters International about this issue.

The candidate for this possible new division should be notified that there is a possibility that the district council may not approve the new alignment. If that were to be the case, it may result in the candidate needing to run from the floor for a different division. If the district council approves the new alignment then all will be well and good for the candidate to possibly be elected to this new position.

I hope this is helpful and has answered your questions fully. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns!
Sincerely,
Rex Humphrey
District Leader Service and Support Representative
Toastmasters International
