"New" - CONDUCTING HYBRID MEETINGS

Distinguished Club Program Tracking

Thanks to the efforts of Jim Dooley, DTM, we have an extraordinary new tool to monitor success of individuals, clubs, areas, divisions, and the entire district. Please start using the links below to help monitor past /current performance and use it to plan future success. The best way to appreciate the scope of this tool is to test it out and compare your club/area/division with others in the district.

What People Are Saying

We love hearing from our members about their Toastmasters experience
Linda Zhou

2020-2021 Area 61 Director

Since joining Toastmasters in January 2019, I have been “hooked” due to the growth opportunities in public speaking and fun at the same time. In addition, I have benefited from the support and insight from every member in the club. When I competed in the International Speech Contest this March (2020) at the Area and Division levels, my colleagues were out there volunteering for contest roles and supporting me. Members from outside my club chipped in as well giving me invaluable advice. Toastmasters is truly a big family where members support each other to reach their respective educational goals. Though I have started this journey not too long ago . I know that you reap what you sow. The more work you put into it and the more you sign up for speaking, the better you get. Toastmasters is a treasure for personal and professional growth. It personally makes me a better speaker and a better person. Why wait? I guarantee you will be as hooked as I am.
Jennifer Ferguson, DTM

District 27 Chaplain

My Toastmasters journey taught me and continues to teach me that to be an effective leader, I must first be a servant. The heart of servant leadership is humility.
Brenda Lawrence, DTM

Past District Director 2018-2019

Since joining toastmasters in 2014, I have been inspired by the enormous difference Toastmasters.org has made in the lives of so many individuals. My personal experience has been immeasurable. Serving, Mentoring, Coaching and Growing with toastmasters around the world continues to be my all time favorite.

The greatest benefit for me as a member of toastmasters, has been the awareness and insight that I have gained by simply showing up with my passion and giving my best.

What an amazing opportunity! Believing in the CORE Values of Toastmasters (Integrity, Respect, Excellence and Service) we can all achieve our best.

A leader is one who knows the way, shows the way and goes the way! ~John C. Maxwell.

Let us all continue towards that end!
