December is a time for celebration. Time to recognise the successes of the old year - and time to prepare for a new one.
In Toastmasters, December is halfway through the year and a great time to take stock. How is your club doing? Are you making progress on your goals? How's your membership level? What new things could you try come January?
For club officers, the December-February period brings an opportunity to refresh your knowledge. When you first took office in July, you attended club leader training and learned about your role, leadership, and the wider world of Toastmasters. Now that you've had some time to apply that knowledge in your clubs, we invite you to come together again and debrief. What's going well? What needs tweaking? What are other clubs doing that you might try?
Attending club leader training this round will complete your club's training requirements for the year. By getting at least four officers trained in July and at least four in December-February, your club receives recognition under the Distinguished Club Program, Toastmasters International's standard for a successful club.
To make it extra easy for your club officers to get trained this round, we're offering two sessions of club leader training before Christmas (more will be offered in the new year). They are:
Upper Chamber, Toi Poneke
61 Abel Smith Street
Parking available on Abel Smith Street (metered till 6pm).

As well as club officers, please invite anyone who is thinking about becoming a club officer in the future. This session will give them a chance to learn more about the roles and what it means to serve as an officer and help a club achieve success.
See you at a club leader training soon!
Thanks Gael! I'm guessing, based on past numbers, that with 2 sessions they'll both be packed! Any thoughts around running a third session, maybe in the New Year when things have quietened down a bit?
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel - Yes - there will be more, including a repeat of the Lunchtime CLT. We'll get the details posted as soon as we have finalised the dates and venues.
