become a Distinguished Toastmaster

My main sponsor at my new club is leaving which is making it difficult to continue the club. The lady did a lot to keep the club going forward. We are both trying to put into place measures to keep the club going.

I had to go to the bank to sort out the membership payments of the club that I have chartered, and which I am still coaching currently.

I started with my High Performance leadership manual

I have a seperate entry to track my progress towards the HPL

I have completed my term as a District Officer. Now I only need to do a High performance leadership before I can get to being a Distinguished toastmaster.

My term as a Mentor is now complete. I am now waiting for my ‘Get Credit’ form. After this, I’ll be ready to officially file for my DTM.

I am looking forward to the upcoming Toastmaster’s conference. It is now almost certain that I will be the next division governor. I have much support. I read through all the reports and it seems as if the division is going to need a lot of support and effort to make it grow as a whole…Think it will become another goal for 2008/2009

I got my certifiticate today that acknowledges my Advanced Communicator achievement.

On Tuesday my mentee gave her third presentation which finalised the last requirement I had to fulfill before registering my Advanced Communicator Gold. I now need to complete my Advanced Leadership end of June 2007 when I finish my year as Area governor before I can accomplish this goal.

I played successfully the role of Chieff judge in my own club and the role of competitions chairman in another club. Both were new positions I have not done before. I rather like to be involved in all aspects of Toastmasters.

Although it will not add towards becoming a Distinguished Toastmaster I am now heavily involved in the competition cycle of Toastmasters. I am tomorrow the chief judge at my own club and Thursday I will be the competitions chair for a club in my area. I am also busy organising the area competition for my area….so all in all it seems I have much to learn still in Toastmasters.
