District 25 Grows when Your Club Grows!
District 25’s strength and vibrancy lie in its members. With this in mind, the district leaders, along with Toastmasters International, have implemented the following exciting incentives for the 2024-2025 program year. These incentives are aimed at encouraging membership growth and ensuring a thriving community for all. These incentives reward the efforts of both individual members and clubs in attracting new individuals to experience the transformative power of Toastmasters.
Incentives for Individual Member Growth:
-
-
- GROW Your Guests: This incentive encourages members to share the Toastmasters experience with others. Any member who brings three non-Toastmaster guests to the same meeting (such as an open house) by June 30, 2025, and submits a photo (or screenshot for virtual clubs) with them, will receive a “Here We Grow” pin. This simple yet effective incentive leverages the power of personal invitation and firsthand experience in attracting potential new members.
- Individual Member Building Contest: Membership growth is important to ensure club success. As a sponsor of five new members, you will qualify to receive a unique sponsor’s pin. As an outstanding sponsor of 10 new members, you will qualify to receive a special pin. Effective July 1, 2009, as a sponsor of 15 new members, you will qualify to receive a special discount code for 25% off your next product purchase from Toastmasters International World Headquarters. Discount is not valid with any other offer. You’ve also made a significant contribution to your club’s long-term success. To receive credit as a sponsor, your name must appear on the membership application along with your home club number. Please print or type information legibly. No changes can be made to the applications once they are received by World Headquarters. New, dual and reinstated members count for credit; transfer and charter members do not. The new members join dates must fall within the July to June range. All applications and payments must be received at World Headquarters no later than June 30th.

Incentives for Club Membership Growth:
-
-
- GROW YOUR GUEST: Any 1 member brings 3 Non-Toastmaster Guests to the same meeting (for example, an open house), by June 30th, 2025. Take a photo (or screenshot for virtual clubs) with them for submission.
- Beat the Clock: This time-bound incentive encourages immediate action. Clubs that add five new, dual, or reinstated members between May 1, 2025, and June 30, 2025, will receive the “Beat the Clock” ribbon from Toastmasters International to display on their club banner, along with a unique discount code for 10% off their next Toastmasters International store order. This creates a sense of urgency and rewards clubs for a strong push in the final months of the program year.

These membership growth incentives demonstrate District 25’s proactive expansion approach and commitment to supporting clubs and members in their recruitment efforts. By actively participating in these programs, members and clubs earn valuable recognition and rewards and contribute to the continued success and vibrancy of their club and District 25, ensuring that more individuals have the opportunity to develop their communication and leadership skills.
