Phyllis A Harmon, DTM, Senior Editor Associate Publisher

We did it! District 7 members rallied once again in the Brenda Parsons, ACB, ALS
final hours before the year’s end, and helped assure
that our District receives the recognition it deserves at Senior Editor
the International Convention in August. Special thanks
go out to everyone who understood what we were trying Phyllis Harmon, DTM
to accomplish and helped us complete our goals. I am
looking forward to seeing the gains we’ve made continue Associate Editors
to multiply with members feeling more engaged in their
clubs and working towards their personal goals. Leanna Lindquist, DTM

The auspicious close of 2014-15 marked the end of an era Karen O’Keefe, DTM
of governors. The new year opens with a new team, new Alexis Mason
titles and District 7’s Diamond Anniversary. The new team
is already in action, with Division-led club officer trainings Layout/Design
scheduled and underway. Check the D7 calendar often to
keep abreast of events happening throughout the year. Phyllis Harmon, DTM
Remember that governors are now called directors. Their Curtis Low
responsibilities haven’t changed, only their titles. They
will continue to visit clubs, coach, mentor, and be there 2015-16 Officers
for you and your clubs. Division Directors are looking for
Area Assistants who will experience what being an Area District Director
Director entails through “on-the-job” training. Helping
with area visits and running contests are just a couple Michelle Alba Lim, DTM
of the interesting assignments awaiting you as an Area
Assistant. If you are interested in becoming an Area Program Quality Director
Assistant, please contact your Division Director.
