The District Executive Committee, commonly referred to as the “DEC,” consists of the following voting members:
- District Director (DD)
- Program Quality Director (PQD)
- Club Growth Director (CGD)
- Immediate Past District Director (IPDD)
- Administrative Assistant (non-voting member)
- Financial Manager
- Public Relations Manager (PRM)
- All Division Directors
- All Area Directors
The District 77 DEC also has a non-voting set of staff participants who may be invited to DEC meetings at the discretion of the District Director. The District Director may invite others to attend DEC meetings who have business to conduct. DEC meeting attendance is by District Director invitation only – no others may attend.
DEC meetings are held at least four times a year and are chaired by the District Director. The DEC is charged with reviewing and approving the District Success Plan, approving the budget, overseeing the financial operations of the District, recommending the assignment of clubs to Areas and Divisions, and reviewing recommendations/reports of district committees (including the audit committee).
