District 84 is run by volunteers. District leadership splits into elected roles (the "trio" plus appointed officers) and appointed program chairs.
Elected trio (annual election at the District Conference)
- District Director (DD) — overall accountability for district success. Roughly 10-15 hours/week.
- Program Quality Director (PQD) — owns education, training, conferences. 8-12 hours/week.
- Club Growth Director (CGD) — owns club retention, new club starts, membership growth. 8-12 hours/week.
Appointed district officers
- Public Relations Manager — district communications, social, PR. 4-6 hours/week.
- Administration Manager — district records, vendor coordination, conference logistics.
- Finance Manager — district budget, financial reporting.
- Logistics Manager — meeting venues, equipment, event setup.
- Immediate Past District Director — continuity advisor to the new DD.
- Parliamentarian — Robert's Rules guidance at the District Council meeting.
- Audit Committee Chair — quarterly financial review.
Division and area roles (mid-tier)
- Division Director — oversees a division (4-5 areas, ~15-20 clubs). 6-10 hours/week.
- Area Director — oversees an area (3-5 clubs). 3-5 hours/week.
Program chairs (appointed, time-bounded)
Education Chair, Membership Chair, Speech Contest Chair, Conference Chair, Club Coach Chair, Club Ambassador Chair, Webmaster, and others. Most program chairs work 2-5 hours/week during their season; the Conference Chair ramps to 10+ hours/week in the three months pre-conference.
How to be considered
Members interested in district service should start a conversation with their Area Director (for divisions/areas) or with the incoming District Director (for trio + program chairs). Most appointments are sealed by April for the program year starting July 1. Trio elections happen at the District Conference in May or June.
