website, Constant Contact Messages, flyers Web, Email, Print)

challenges? (One situation might be that areas and divisions have reached their maximum capacity causing service to the

members to suffer and limiting leadership opportunities.)*

• Website & event flyers may not have proper Toastmasters branding

best options for realignment and collaborating with the nomination committee to identify leadership opportunities.)*

• Host events (annual District Conference, Fall and Winter Summits) that energize the members, celebrate their

successes and promote momentum throughout the Toastmasters Year.

• Use these events to promote future events. Find event chairs that do not have other District Commitments to

focus on the promotion and success of these events.

• Simplify pricing, for Spring Conference. One price for Friday night and one price for Saturday. Bring in new

speakers (World Champions of Public Speaking, or semifinalists and/or interesting Toastmasters International

leaders) members would be interested in paying to hear and whom members have not heard in the last ten

years.

Division I trained 73.47% of officers and 78.57% of clubs trained 4 or more officers.

Division A, F, G, H I and J all met the 75% of clubs training 4 or more goal.

Every Division in the District had 61.54% or more of their clubs train 4 officers.

As a District, we hit our goal for clubs training at least 4 officers in round 1, as 76.13% of our clubs, or 118 clubs, hit that mark.

Huge thanks to anyone who trained or assisted with training this summer.

Division Directors look for an email about the next round of training standards starting November 1.
