Why did you join Toastmasters?
Did you join because you wanted to improve your communication skills?
As a member you might have soon realized that not only were your communication skills improving, but your leadership skills were as well.
The next step for your growth may be to serve as a club officer or as a district officer. The Leadership Committee is currently looking for members who want to take the next step in their growth as a member.
Opportunities are still available for the 2019/2020 District Executive Committee:
- Area Directors
- Public Relations Manager
- Administration Manager
- Finance Manager
Click Here
to learn more about these District Executive Committee roles.
Completing 1 year as a District Executive Committee member is a requirement for the Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) designation. This is the last opportunity to fulfill this requirement on the traditional program (by Jun 30, 2020) or this requirement can be used towards your DTM in the Pathways program.
If you are interested in taking your leadership and communication skills to the next level please contact Jacquie Schnider, DTM PID or Jocelyn Hastie, DTM. There are qualifications for each position. If you are interested we can send you more information.
