Dear Fellow Toastmasters,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my privilege to present to you a series of proposed amendments to the Bylaws of Toastmasters International and Club Constitution for Clubs of Toastmasters International to be voted on during the Annual Business Meeting, on August 19, 2022. Your club will have the opportunity to cast its votes on these important issues in person or by proxy.

Proposal A
Outlines a series of amendments to be applied to the Bylaws of Toastmasters International and the Club Constitution to make the language use and the style more consistent, clear, and in line with modern practices.

Proposal B
Enhances the clarity and readability of the stated purposes of Toastmasters International and Member Clubs by expressing them in a more concise, modern manner.

Proposal C
Adds the phrases “gender identity” and “gender expression” into the organization’s nondiscrimination clauses to align with California state regulations.

Proposal D
Amends the Bylaws of Toastmasters International and the Club Constitution to emphasize modern references to methods of communication and other technology.

Proposal E
Adds the phrase “in good standing” to the Bylaws, Article III, Section 1(a), to clarify that a Member Club must be in good standing to be entitled to its two votes.

Proposal F
Solidifies the current practice of announcing changes in international dues and publishing the International Leadership Committee’s report on nominations in the Toastmaster magazine and on the Toastmasters International website.

Proposal G
Amends the Bylaws to clarify that the geographic regions referenced in the Bylaws are those defined by the Board and not any external entity.

Proposal H
Amends the Bylaws to provide flexibility in the scheduling of the Board meetings held before and after the Annual Business Meeting.

Proposal I
Provides flexibility in attendance and participation at the Annual Business Meeting, offering the option to attend/participate on-site or online.

Proposal J
Amends the Club Constitution to clarify that if the Immediate Past Club President role is vacant, another member is selected to serve as chair of the Club Leadership Committee.

Proposal K
Supports the Toastmasters International core values in the club environment by adding requirements surrounding filled officer positions and who holds them.

Proposal L
Consists of several amendments to the Club Constitution to empower each club to determine if one of its two representatives will carry the club’s two votes, or if both representatives will carry one vote each, at a District Council meeting. This proposal will also simplify the process for District leaders by removing the use of proxies for District Council meetings.

The Board encourages you to vote “yes” on these proposals. More in-depth information about the proposals is available on the Toastmasters International website.

In July, your club officers will receive an email explaining how to exercise the club’s votes or proxy for these proposals and for International Officer and Director elections. If you are a club officer, we encourage you to engage your club members in reviewing the proposals and selecting International Officer and Director candidates so that your club can instruct your proxyholder how to vote.



Sincerely,

Richard Peck
