District 26 - Serving Colorado, Wyoming and Western Nebraska

Once each year, districts must review and amend, if necessary, the alignment of the clubs, areas and divisions within their boundaries.

For the 2025-2026  District Alignment of clubs, the district boundaries have changed.  The Toastmasters International Board of Directors has approved the boundary definitions, effective July 1, 2025 for  District 26 as follows:

  • Colorado
  • Wyoming (except the Counties of Teton, Lincoln, Sublette, Uinta, Sweetwater and Crook)
  • Nebraska (The 11 counties that are directly north of the Colorado boundary in the Nebraska Panhandle)

–Banner, Box Butte, Cheyenne, Dawes, Deuel, Garden, Kimball, Morrill, Scotts Bluff, Sheridan, Sioux

  • Utah (East of the Green River, Colorado River and Lake Powell, including the City of Green River, Utah)
  • New Mexico (The 18 counties that are directly south of the Colorado boundary)

–Bernalillo, Cibola, Colfax, Guadalupe, Harding, Los Alamos, McKinley, Mora, Quay, Rio, Arriba, San Juan, San Miguel, Sandoval, Santa Fe, Taos, Torrance, Union and Valencia.

The proposed alignment plan is determined during this period, and the plan as a whole is voted on first by the District Executive Committee (DEC).  The DEC is comprised of the following officers:

  • District Director (DD)
  • Program Quality Director (PQD)
  • Club Growth Director (CGD)
  • Public Relations Manager
  • Finance Manager
  • Division Directors
  • Area Directors
  • Immediate Past District Director (IPDD)
 A majority of the district executive committee constitutes a quorum.

 

The  final proposed alignment plan is then presented at the  Annual District Council Business Meeting in the Spring. The District Council voting members are all of the Presidents and Vice Presidents Education of each club and the DEC members.   The final alignment is  sent to Toastmasters for uploading to the District 26 Dashboard and is uploaded here on the District’s website within a few weeks after the District Council’s business meeting.

Per Protocol 7.0.1, Alignment Considerations are:

The best interests of the clubs and District are taken into consideration when assigning clubs to Areas.

  • Areas consist of four (4) to six (6) clubs; however, an Area may consist of three (3) clubs on July 1 only when an effort to charter a fourth club is in process.
  • Under no circumstances may an Area have more than six (6) clubs on July 1.
  • Advanced clubs may not be segregated into Areas.
  • Areas may be segregated by language, subject to the approval of the District Council.
  • Districts assign clubs to Areas based upon:
  • a. Geographic proximity to other clubs
  • b. The ability of an Area Director to effectively provide service
  • c. Club size and strength (e.g., paid, active, disbanding)
  • d. Prospective clubs and expected growth
  • e. The likelihood of eligibility for Distinguished programs (e.g., club base of the Area or Division)

A Division must have a minimum of three (3) Areas.
