Why Participate In TLC Winter Training?

For those of you who attended TLI during the summer season, here are several reasons to attend club officer training in the winter:

  • There is a lot to learn at the second round of club officer training.
  • When at least 4 of your club officers are trained in the winter, and 4 were trained in the summer, your club achieves Goal #9 of the Distinguished Club Program (DCP). . . and, more importantly, this commitment is one component of a healthy Toastmasters club.
  • A healthy club is one where the officers have been trained, the members are working towards their personal communication development goals by regularly delivering manual speeches, and the members are working towards their personal leadership development goals.
  • Newly elected officers have the opportunity to:
    • learn the basic responsibilities of their new role
    • meet district leaders and others who can assist them during their terms
    • discover and share ideas that can help them improve their clubs
  • Continuing officers have the opportunity to:
    • participate in training sessions to complement their core training
    • discuss with district and other club officers the challenges their clubs may be facing
    • share experiences and solutions for these challenges with fellow club officers
  • Different electives may be offered
  • Statistics show that clubs with 4 or more officers trained achieve the other DCP goals much more easily.
  • When all 7 officers are trained, your club earns a maroon ribbon (can be attached to the club's banner).
