The
Distinguished Club Program Toastmasters Clubs serve to help members
improve their speaking, listening, and thinking skills to enable them to become
better communicators and leaders. One of the tools used to measure a club's health
and success at creating an environment conducive to improving these vital skills
is the Distinguished Club Program. Set by Toastmasters International, the program
outlines 10 goals each club sets out to achieve during the Toastmaster year of
July 1 through June 30. A club's ability to achieve these goals is an indication
of the strength and vitality of the club and the level of the club's excellence.
In addition to the 10 goals show below, there is a membership
requirement of club charter strength (20 members) or better, or a net gain of
5 members as of the end of the Toastmaster year (June 30th). Clubs that achieve
5 or 6 goals plus the membership requirement are awarded the status of "Distinguished
Club." Clubs that achieve 7 or 8 goals plus the membership requirement are
awarded the status of "Select Distinguished Club." Clubs that achieve
9 or 10 of the goals plus the membership requirement are awarded the status of
"President's Distinguished Club." At Gilbert, we
don't just strive for excellence, we make a habit of it!
Gilbert achieves 10 out of 10 goals every year!
