    District Officer Training I

    The District Officer Training dates are for Area Directors, Division Directors and Senior Team members only. Club Officers do not have to attend these events, and they are not required for clubs seeking recognition in the Distinguished Club Program. 

    The session on this date will focus on the following module.

    Successful Club Visits: Twice a year, a District officer is required to visit a club and to report on its conformity with the Toastmasters brand, its successes, and its opportunities for growth. This officer is usually the club's Area Director, who files a written report on the Toastmasters.org website (under District Central) by the end of November and the end of May. We'll talk about how to conduct yourself during this visit, and what kinds of things you should be alert to, and report on, to your District's other officers.

    The format of the report looks like this.
