NEW!!

Two months - 8-1/2 weeks - remain in the Toastmasters year. That's enough time to add those last 5-10 members, complete educational awards and prepare to be honored as a Distinguished, Select Distinguished or President's Distinguished club. To help you meet your goals, Toastmasters International and Founder's District are teaming up to bring you the latest membership contest: Beat the Clock. Clubs throughout Founder's District are conducting membership drives, Open Houses and Speechcraft courses to attract members. See the Toastmasters video of testimonials for ideas.

The mission of Toastmasters International:

Toastmasters International is the leading movement devoted to making effective oral communication a worldwide reality.

Through its member clubs, Toastmasters International helps men and women learn the arts of speaking, listening and thinking - vital skills that promote self-actualization, enhance leadership, foster human understanding and contribute to the betterment of mankind.

It is basic to this mission that Toastmasters International continually expand its worldwide network of clubs, thereby offering ever-greater numbers of people the opportunity to benefit from its programs.

The mission of Founder's District is to enhance the performance and extend the network of clubs, thereby offering greater numbers of people the opportunity to benefit from the Toastmasters educational program by:

• Focusing on the critical success factors as specified by the district educational and membership goals.
• Ensuring that each club effectively fulfills its responsibilities to its members.
• Providing effective training and leadership opportunities for club and district officers.

The mission of the Marketing Team is to:

1. build new Toastmasters clubs to bring the benefits of the Toastmasters communication and leadership educational program to ever-increasing numbers of people;
2. grow the membership of current Toastmasters clubs in Founder's District; and,
3. help existing clubs grow strong and become Distinguished, Select Distinguished, or President's Distinguished.

We do this by providing excellent service to our Area and Division Governors and Club leaders. This website hosts the marketing documents referred to by our blog, http://tmmarketer.blogspot.com . We hope you will visit there to leave your comments and suggestions for improvements, as well as your own unique ideas for creating new clubs, getting members in your clubs, and building strong clubs.

Whether you are a Club officer or District leader, you have goals to achieve. But you can't do it alone! You need to build a team to help you build new clubs, rebuild struggling clubs, and grow each club to charter strength (20+ members).

The Founder's District Marketing Team is standing by to help you achieve your goals.

Let us know how we can help!

Wishing you a very successful year!
