Congratulations! Which of these roles best defines you?*

Note: If you served in the same role previously, even if not last year, please consider that a re-election.

I was elected as a first-time district chair.
I was re-elected as district chair (I have served as a chair at some time in the past).
I was elected or re-elected as a district committee member.

Please indicate whether you accept or decline the role of district chair.*

All district chairs will be required to go through a professional development refresher/onboarding this fall. Chairs serve as volunteer leaders for their district. In addition to running the district tournament, chairs are asked to provide general leadership and guidance in membership issues, welcome new member schools, and assist in communicating important information at the district level.

I accept the role of district chair!
I decline the role of chair but would like to stay on the district committee.
I decline the role of chair and do not want to serve on the district committee.

Please indicate whether you accept or decline the role of district committee member.*

Note: Professional development refresher/onboarding is available for committee members, but not required. Committee members serve as volunteer leaders for their district. In addition to running the district tournament, committee members are asked to provide general leadership and guidance in membership issues, welcome new member schools, and assist in communicating important information at the district level.

I accept the role of district committee member!
I decline the role of committee member; please contact the next person in line for the role.

Please provide a reason for declining your role.*

What is one thing the national office could do to better support you in this role?*

Besides the district tournament, what's one thing the NSDA and your district could partner on that would change speech and debate for the better in your district?*
