Did you know that District 25 offers Club Coaches to eligible clubs in order to help them grow and better serve their members? These coaches are available, trained, and ready to help. And we need more of them!
What are Club Coaches?
Being a successful club coach is a leadership step toward your DTM. It’s also another way to grow your leadership and communication skills. District 25 is looking for Toastmasters who are experienced Toastmasters members to assist in rebuilding club membership and restoring club quality. A successful club coach will:
-
-
- Build rapport with club officers and members
- Instill enthusiasm, camaraderie, and structure within the club
- Assess the club environment and recommend best practices for success
- Work with club officers to develop a Club Success Plan
- Motivate the club to strive for Distinguished Club Program (DCP) recognition
-
Coaches who help clubs achieve Distinguished status (or higher) in the Distinguished Club Program will receive credit in the education program and a digital certificate of accomplishment.
