About Us
It all started with District 36! In 1989, District 36 was reformed into two Districts (36 & 27). District 27 continued to expand and ultimately becoming the l0th largest District in the world, with 21 Toastmasters clubs and 454 members in the Metropolitan Washington D.C. As a result, District 27 reformed again into District 27 & 29. July 2011, Toastmasters International with District 27 leadership support, established District 27 as we know it today. We have been shining, shouting and sharing ever since!
