About District 3 "The Arizona District"

In 1938, District 3 was the first District organized beyond the borders of California. Back then, District 3 had only five clubs.  Today,  District 3 consists of the entire state of Arizona, except for Yuma. There are more than 184 Toastmasters clubs and more than 3200 members in the District. That number continues to grow daily. We have many "specialty" clubs... including Spanish-speaking, speaking professionally, speaking on live TV, fitness walkers, progressive dining, and more!
