Have a look at the help pages being built up about New Clubs
Why New Clubs
There are at least 3 good reasons why
- The Toastmaster Mission
The District WA Vision
Personal achievement
The Toastmaster Mission
It is basic to the mission of Toastmasters International that it continually expands its worldwide network of clubs, thereby offering ever-greater numbers of people the opportunity to benefit from its programs.
The District WA Vision
We have a vision of a District based on Western Australia only. There are several important requirements to achieve this vision. The first is that we have a minimum of 60 clubs. There are other requirements, but without a base of 60 clubs we get nowhere.
Personal achievement
- DTM. It’s a requirement for the Distinguished Toastmaster Award to be a Founder or Mentor for a new club, or a Coach for a failing club.
Area Governors. The Presidents Distinguished Award requires a net gain of one club during the year.
Division Governors. The Presidents Distinguished Award requires a net gain of one club during the year.
Three kinds of clubs
