What’s in it for you?
There can be a lot in it for you.
- There is a lot of pleasure and satisfaction in carrying through a successful founding of a new club. Yes, there is work, but it is interesting and rewarding. The new members and officers are very grateful for the work you do.
- It is a leadership role. You learn leadership skills and get the chance to practise them in a team setting.
- You can get credit towards your Advanced Leader Award, and ultimately to your DTM – Distinguished Toastmaster – the highest Toastmaster Award.
- No! You can’t make any money from it. We all work in a voluntary capacity. The rewards lie in learning and practising leadership skills, and the satisfaction that comes from success.
