Super 7

Is your Toastmasters Club a SUPER 7 Club? 

Each club that has all 7 officers trained in either of the two training periods will achieve the Super 7 Award and receive a ribbon to proudly hang on the club banner.

Club officers may attend any Toastmasters Leadership Institute held in the June-August training period or the December-February training period. 

Fine Print: Open only to District 25 Toastmasters Clubs in good standing. In order to qualify for the Super 7 Award, all 7 club officers must attend District Sponsored training held in June-August or December-February. If officers attend a District training in a district other than District 25 during the June-August or December-February time periods, documentation must be submitted to the District 25 Program Quality Director in order to receive credit.

Kaizen Award

 

Kaizen Club Award

Kaizen is the Japanese art of continuous improvement.
It stresses the need to continually improve the way that things are
done in order to achieve high levels of quality from year to year.
At the club level, it is important to keep this in mind —
if we’re not doing anything to improve our clubs,
we remain stagnant and eventually begin to backtrack.

Each year, District 25 recognizes clubs that has been at least Distinguished for 3 years in a row.
This is a major accomplishment for a club, and District 25
is proud to be able to recognize these clubs
for their efforts both over the past year and in years prior.

Clubs that are Presidents Distinguished 3 years in a row or
longer receive the prestigious District Director’s Quality Award,
which is the highest award a club can receive from the District.
