The Club Excellence Series is coming your way to give you the resources and encouragement you need to help your club succeed!
The first meeting on Dec 3, 2024 at 8PM Eastern on Zoom is for those willing to be the leaders, encouragers and presenters to lead the club officers toward excellence! If you can commit to just three 1- hour meetings over the next six months, please join us to map out the list of volunteers and presenters as we guide club officers and members through the Moments of Truth program, a social media workshop, and important stories of success and recommendations club officers to achieve Success!
This series will provide club officers and members the tools they need to succeed, including important insights from the Moments of Truth series, as well as an exciting presentation from Michael Whitehouse about How to Manage Social Media, and much more!
The journey for a new club officer can feel lonely, but we don’t want it to be. We’re building a supportive community of experienced Toastmasters who are committed to motivating you towards success and sharing the wisdom of their experiences. Having a group to provide accountability, encouragement, and support through the more challenging phases is invaluable. Plus, the networking opportunities are substantial—you’ll be among peers who are also working toward success, and who can offer advice and insights from their own experiences.
Stay tuned for updates, and direct questions to Jim Ault at AD-E54@d53tm.org if you’d like to get involved or have questions!
