It’s a new Toastmaster year. It’s time to plan for success. Our District has provided each club with a bright shiny red ribbon for their banner complete with our District Director Robi Ley’s theme, “New Directions, New Destinations”. A set of stars were included to be added as each Distinguished Club Program (DCP) goal is completed as the year progresses. Then after the March membership renewal period add that last big star at the top for the membership qualifier (20 paid members or a net gain of five).
Remember after the membership qualifier 5-6 goals=Distinguished, 7-8 goals=Select Distinguished, 9-10 goals=President’s Distinguished.
The Distinguished Club Program and Club Success Plan, How to be a Distinguished Club manual leads you through each step as you and your officers plan now for success at the end of our 2018-2019 Toastmaster Year.
Keep in mind that the six education goals are based on this chart:
