Did you know that Toastmasters clubs that send their officers to club
officer training are statistically FAR MORE likely to be successful?
It's true. It's also true that clubs for which officers are not
trained are FAR MORE likely to struggle, or even fold. At my training
session as incoming Lt. Governor of Education & Training (yes, I go
to training, too!), another Region VI district leader reported that he
found the following to be true in his district:<br>
<ul>
<li>Every club that had <u>all</u> seven officers trained went on to
achieve President's Distinguished status.</li>
<li>Of those clubs where <u>none</u> of their officers attended
training, <u>none</u> even achieved Distinguished status.</li>
</ul>
You might think "I don't need to be trained. I'll figure it out." You
might think "Training only accounts for one point in the Distinguished
Club Program. We can skip that one and still be President's
Distinguished." Yes, you could, but the odds of your club being
successful, and of your members getting the most out of their
Toastmasters experience, are much greater if your officers are
trained. PLEASE don't let this opportunity to learn and to improve
your leadership skills go to waste.<br>
<br>
The next session of Club Officer Training is
scheduled for <b>next Saturday, July 8 at the University of
Michigan-Dearborn in the Social Sciences Building</b>. Club officers
from any Toastmasters club, whether in
Ohio, Michigan, or Ontario, are welcome to attend. (Non-officers are
also welcome!) Directions and a map of the UM-D campus are available
at: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<br>
The Registration Desk opens at 8:00 AM, the
program begins at 9:00 AM, and we’ll wrap up by 1:00 PM.<span style="">
</span>Please arrive on time and please stay for the
entire program. It will be well worth it. By the way, the sessions
and the breakfast are all free! Advance registration is NOT required.<br>
