As we wrap up another successful round of Club Officer Training, I want to take a moment to applaud all the dedicated leaders who have invested their time and energy into growing their clubs. Your commitment to excellence ensures that our members receive the best experience possible. However, training is just the first step – now it’s time to put that knowledge into action.
One of the most important ways to drive club success is by ensuring that education awards are submitted promptly. Every completed Pathways level or achievement contributes to your club’s progress and helps move it towards Distinguished status or higher. Recognising members for their hard work not only motivates them but also strengthens your club’s overall performance. Let’s celebrate our members’ accomplishments and make sure they count.
With training completed and education goals in focus, it’s time to turn our attention to another exciting part of the Toastmasters year – speech contests!
Contests offer a fantastic opportunity for members to challenge themselves, showcase their speaking skills, and grow in confidence. Whether you are competing, judging, or cheering from the audience, your support makes a difference. As the competition heats up, we look forward to seeing members rally behind their Division champions at the District 91 Conference, 2-4 May at the Radisson Red Heathrow in London, where they will compete for the ultimate title of becoming District champions. Let’s show up in full force to encourage them.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there as the conference is more than just a gathering; it’s a chance to connect, be inspired, and take your Toastmasters journey to the next level. In addition to the District Contests, expect powerful keynote speakers, invaluable learning sessions, and a celebration of everything we have accomplished together. Whether you are looking to sharpen your speaking skills, grow as a leader, or simply enjoy an inspiring event, this is an occasion you will not want to miss.
Now is the time to get involved. Download the official conference Zoom background here and purchase your tickets, (there is also an option to pay in instalments), and spread the word!
Let’s fill the room and make this the most exciting and memorable event of the year.
