District 25 2025–2026 TLI Season                                                                     

The stage is set, the momentum is building, and the future is full of opportunity. District 25’s Toastmasters Leadership Institute (TLI) is the official launch pad for your club’s success in the 2025–2026 Toastmasters year. And the D25 TLI Team is energized and ready to help you lead with confidence and purpose.

Whether you’re stepping into a club officer role for the first time or returning as a seasoned leader, the D25 TLI is where preparation meets inspiration.

 

WHAT IS TLI?

TLI is the premier training experience for club officers who want to grow as leaders and communicators. TLI equips Toastmasters with the knowledge, tools, and support to lead effectively and confidently.

TLI is not just for officers—it’s open to all Toastmasters who want to sharpen their skills, gain insights, and grow within this organization, their careers, communities, and everyday lives.

 

WHY ATTEND?

Receive Officer-Specific Training
Gain clarity on your role and responsibilities, learn best practices, and leave feeling empowered to make a real difference in your club.

Earn DCP Credit for Your Club
When four or more club officers attend TLI, your club earns credit toward the Distinguished Club Program (DCP)—a key milestone on the path to becoming a Distinguished Club.

Strengthen Club Success
Trained officers lead stronger and more engaged clubs. TLI helps set the tone for a vibrant, high-performing year.

Grow as a Leader and Communicator
TLI provides valuable leadership development and public speaking tools for every Toastmaster.

Connect with the D25 Community
Exchange ideas, share inspiration, and collaborate with other Toastmasters across the District and the globe. The relationships you build at TLI can last all year—and beyond.

Explore Supplemental Training – Here’s your opportunity to expand learning with unique and creative supplemental training sessions. Also, if you hold different officer roles in the same or different clubs, you need to attend additional training for the additional offices. This can be completed by attending 1) the general session, 2) one officer-specific training, and 3) one supplemental training.
