Why is Leadership Training Important?
I am often reminded that Toastmasters is a communication and leadership organization. Most of us quickly master the communication track, but so often we neglect the leadership aspect of Toastmasters. Many Toastmasters are now comfortable leading their club's meeting as Toastmaster, but how many of you are ready for the next step? There are many opportunities to practice your leadership skill. Have you served as a club officer? Volunteered to head a committee for the Area, Division or District? Considered serving as a District Officer? To learn more about leadership opportunities in Toastmasters, plan now to attend Toastmasters Leadership Institute. TLI allows you the opportunity to learn new skills, and prepare you for a role as a leader!
For those of you who have accepted a leadership role, TLI will allow you the opportunity to learn what you can do to make your team more successful. Statistics show that the more successful clubs have trained officers. District 3 has made the commitment to continue improving the quality of leadership training. Take the opportunity to participate, and learn how to achieve your potential as a leader!
Earn Starbucks with used Certificate Holders
If you look around at your walls, or even open those drawers or cabinets and realize that you have more certificates and holders than you do wall space, we are interested in helping you recycle. For each certificate holder (must be in GOOD condition), either the black leatherette or the grey folder style, that you want to turn in to me, I will exchange that for a STARBUCK worth $1.00 toward purchases of Toastmaster supplies available at either the District Conferences' or TLI's resource tables.
Contact me at 602-962-0679 for more details.
Congratulations to Doris Koressel who has already earned 10 STARRBUCKS.
