District Officers Corner

About Being a District Officer

The affairs of the District are managed by a team of elected and appointed District Officers. Managing the affairs of an organization with over 3,000 members  in ~190 clubs from Temple to Brownsville and from Del Rio to Corpus Christi is no small task! Terms are for one year from July 1 to June 30 of the following year.

The elected officers are:
  • District Director - the official leader of the District
  • Program Quality Director (PQD)
  • Club Growth Director (CGD)
The above three officers are sometimes referred to as the "Trio"
  • Division Directors - assigned to govern geographic regions.
    District 55 currently has eight divisions

The appointed officers are:
  • Public Relations Manager (PRM)
  • Administration Manager
  • Finance Manager
  • Immediate Past District Director (IPDD) - this is a default appointment
  • Area Director - each Division is further divided into 4-6 Areas, each Area containing 4-6 clubs

The elected officers are elected at the Spring District Council meeting. A process is followed whereby the Leadership committee seeks out and interviews candidates, then recommends a slate of nominees at the Spring District Council meeting.

The appointed officers are appointed by the District Director.

The Trio members are responsible for running the day-to-day affairs of the District. 

The Division and Area Directors mainly serve as liaison officers between the clubs and the District, in addition to taking action to further the attainment of District goals - number of Distinguished Club, number of members/membership payments, and number of clubs.
