Congratulations, and thank you for all your efforts and hard work. We have achieved record-breaking attendance for Club Officer Training (COT) in Round 1. I’m pleased to report an astonishing 90% of our clubs have at least 4 trained Club Officers, and 80% of individual Club Officers have completed their training. These stellar results lay a strong foundation for excellence in the months ahead. Our Club Officers assuredly possess the tools to lead their clubs. At the bottom of this post, you’ll find the COT comprehensive report. Please contact pqd@d33tm.org if you have any questions or correction requests.
Thank you, Club Officers, who adjusted their personal schedule to attend the D33 COT training or other Districts.
Thank you to our COT Co-Chairs, Angelina Dickey, DTM, and Roxie Patterson, DTM.
Thank you to our entire Training Team for a successful Round 1. Everyone, please thank them when you next meet them.

Our next focus will be the significant task of achieving 100% club renewal by September 30, 2023. Clubs must renew at least 8 members to retain active status as a Toastmasters Club. It’s our responsibility to demonstrate how the rewards of continuous membership far outweigh the cost.
I invite you all to share your strategies and insights, which we will weave into our District-wide renewal drive. Let’s inspire our members to embrace the value of remaining part of our vibrant District 33 Toastmasters family.
Thank you so much for all you do for your personal development and our organization. As we continue this remarkable Toastmasters journey, remember that reaching the stars is an attainable reality. Our shared vision and collaboration will propel us to even greater heights.
