"Achievement of the Toastmasters International Mission requires that Districts successfully train District Officers. Providing effective training and leadership opportunities for District Officers is the most critical part of the District's Mission. Without properly trained officers, Districts cannot effectively meet membership needs or extend the benefits of Toastmasters to others."

District 58 wants you to start the new Toastmasters year right! Plan to attend this TLI for informative and enlightening sessions. These workshops will appeal to officers and non-officers alike. A full schedule and registration form will be added to the web pages shortly. In the meantime, club officers, make plans to attend.
Why Go To Training?
This is the top requirement of being an officer
(check your officer's manual - when you accept your office you commit
to attend training), however, the goal of being a Toastmaster
is to grow professionally and gaining knowledge. As a leader, you will
learn valuable skills to make your job easier and successful. Your goal
as an officer is to improve your club. By going beyond your club and
meeting other Toastmasters,you will gain new ideas and know-how. You
will find inspiration, innovation, and instruction. This is a wonderful
networking opportunity. You will meet with the District 58 leadership
team. You can give them valuable insight into your club. You can personally
tell them what you think or ask questions. Prepared and equipped, you
can better serve the members of your club. When you meet and talk with
other Toastmasters club officers, you will begin to formulate how your
club can become distinguished, even President's Distinguished AND by
attending you are helping your club achieve one of the goals in the
distinguished club program.
How Much Time Will This Take?
Training is only half a day. Toastmasters International requires four
hours of training twice a year for club officers. You will only be giving
up part of a Saturday. And just think of all you will gain with a little
investment of time.
How Much
Does It Cost?
For the minimal charge of $12, you will receive educational materials
and lunch. You MUST register to have a lunch reserved for you.
What
Will We Do?
The day will be filled with beneficial sessions; some specific to an
officer's role, others more generic. If you have ever wanted to
be a judge for a speech contest, there will be training available.
