Start the year off right with a membership building program for your club. The Smedley Award begins August 1 and ends September 30. It’s simple. Add five new, dual, or reinstated members to your club between August 1 and September 30 and receive a “Smedley Award” ribbon, named in honor of the founder of Toastmasters, which you can display on your club’s banner.
Winning clubs will be revealed on the Toastmasters International web site.
Our focus this year will be to build new clubs and grow our membership, sharing the benefits of Toastmasters to more people in our District. Do you have an idea for a new Toastmasters club? Or know someone who is interested in starting a club in their area? Tell us about it and we’ll help you get it started.
We love our clubs and hate to see any fall on hard times. Some clubs need more than a single club coach to help get them back on their feet. This year a new program is introduced to put your Toastmasters skills into action and make a real difference. The Adopt-A-Club program is designed to help those clubs in need turn around and become successful again, while at the same time provides more opportunities for high member clubs to work the programs and accomplish more educational achievements. It’s a win-win scenario for everyone. Learn more about how the Adopt-A-Club program can work for you.
