Club Officer Training
Attached is the flier for our next Club Officer Training
The goal is to have all seven officers trained for each club. Our Club Officers get rained twice a year. The first period is June 1 through August 31 – which is NOW. As of July 24th (today) our status is as follows:
Those clubs in GREEN – congratulations you have all seven officers trained and meet the Districts goal
Those clubs in YELLOW – congratulations – you have met Toastmasters International minimum goal of four officers trained
Those clubs in RED – you have some work to do to meet the minimum requirements of four officers trained
There is an Officer Training being offered by the District this weekend (July 26th) – see the attached flier. All clubs that have not yet met the District goal of seven officers trained are highly encouraged to attend officers training. The sooner we get our officers trained the easier it is for them to do their jobs.
AREA DIRECTORS – You are asked to contact your clubs and help them get their officers trained. Encourage them to attend the training this weekend. Feel free to pick up the phone and call the club officers directly and remind them that training is being offered for them to attend.

Club and Toastmaster International Websites
We are quickly approaching the end of the first month of the Toastmaster year. Elections were held. New officers are in place. Some clubs were moved to different Divisions. Contact information for club may have changed.
It is important that the data for each club is up to date. Both on the club website and the Toastmaster International website. Club officers have access to club central and can make any adjustments as needed. Each club has its own webmaster that should make website updates as needed.
AREA DIRECTORS – Please contact your club officers and advise them about making any necessary updates – especially contact information. The wrong information means people looking for their club are going to the wrong places. If they need assistance, feel free to extend a helping a helping hand.
Club Coaches
Clubs with three or more members but less than 13 members are eligible for a club coach. If your club fits into this category, please reach out and get a club coach assigned. There is training going on for club coaches as we build a pool of new coaches. Anyone interested in becoming a club coach contact Bill Jones of the DTM Club.
AREA DIRECTORS – the District goal is to get every club that is eligible for a club coach to be assigned one. Please encourage your clubs to get a club coach. Club coaches will help each club to achieve Distinguished or better status.
