PROTOCOL GUIDELINES FOR DISTRICT 27 LEADERS

Fall 2009

These guidelines list the order for introducing dignitaries at Toastmaster events.

Visiting Non-Toastmaster Dignitaries

Honorary Toastmasters and other Guests of Honor
Current International Officers (including Immediate Past President and Executive Director)
Current District 27 Officers (Governors, LGET, LGM, IPDG, PRO, Secretary, Treasurer)
Current Division Governors (host Division first, then alphabetically)
Current Area Governors (host Division first, then alphanumeric)
Current District Officers from other Districts
Past International Presidents (start with most recent; Immediate Past is a current officer)
Past International Directors (start with most recent; Immediate Past is not a current officer)
Past District 27 Governors (start with most recent; Immediate Past is a current officer)
Past District Governors of other Districts (alphabetically)

Introduce current officers before past officers (i.e., Current Area Governors before Past International
Directors)

Important note: If a dignitary is competing in a contest, then they should not be introduced as a dignitary,
even if their name appears on this list or in the program. Dignitaries serving as judges should be
introduced as dignitaries, but never introduced as judges.

Introduction should be phrased in this manner:

1. Office (and highest past office held if both higher than current office and District Governor or above)
2. Toastmaster Designation(s) (highest only, in full, NO abbreviations)
3. Name
4. Office of spouse or guest (if applicable)
5. Toastmaster Designation(s) of spouse or guest (highest only, in full, NO abbreviations)
6. Name of spouse or guest

Proper example: “Past District Governor, Distinguished Toastmaster Aref Dajani and his wife, Martha
Strange.”

Announce each dignitary only once. A combined announcement of two dignitaries (e.g., spouses) where
both are in attendance takes precedence over a separate listing in the Protocol of either, which should be
read only in the absence of the other dignitary.

Proper example if both dignitaries are present:

“Past International Director, Distinguished Toastmaster Joe Jarzombek and his wife, Distinguished
Toastmaster Sharyn Jarzombek.”

Example if only the first is present:

“Past International Director, Distinguished Toastmaster Joe Jarzombek”.

The District 27 Protocol List is used to introduce dignitaries at all District-sponsored events as well as
Division and Area Contests. The following list should only be used as a guide as this list is subject to
change. To update this list, contact the Lieutenant Governor Education & Training. Updates may be
obtained from the District 27 website.
