Club Officer Training in D25
The success of a club and its members depend on how well club officers perform their responsibilities. District 25 TLI Team is here to help prepare you for your role and achieve your personal Toastmasters education goals.
We offer TLI Club Officer training twice a year.
- Summer TLI: Between July 1 and August 31
- Winter TLI: Between January 1 and February 28
These two sessions help you learn about your officer role, as well as the best practices to better serve your club. This is also a perfect networking opportunity for Toastmasters’ Club Officers and all members from D25, Texas and beyond to come together to share ideas and be inspired. We are going to grow together.
At D25, we are proud of our conversational-style training sessions. Our engaging trainers and your peers need your active participation. Turning your camera and microphone ON is expected during your training sessions.
