Club Central Reminder

Review and update Club Central Addendum of Standard Club Options

As part of the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform launch on May 23, new fields have been added to the Addendum of Standard Club Options form in Club Central. Every club's addendum will need to be reentered and resubmitted. If your club did not save your previous addendum information, any club officer can download the previous version of your club’s Addendum by clicking on “Download Historical Addendum” on the Addendum webpage. You can use it when entering your club information in the new version.

If your club discovers there is information missing from your club’s Addendum, any options can be voted on at a club meeting where a quorum is present.

Important Program Updates

Speechcraft, Youth Leadership, and Club Coach Program Changes

Effective July 1, 2022

Speechcraft and Youth Leadership Program

Brief summary of changes:

For the Toastmaster working towards a Distinguished Toastmaster award to receive credit, at least one participant must successfully complete the event.

The coordinator and a club officer must verify that one participant has completed the program, and a club officer from the sponsoring club must sign the Distinguished Toastmaster application.

Club Coach Program

The Club Coach Program is designed to partner experienced Toastmasters with struggling clubs to help rebuild club membership and restore club quality.

Brief summary of changes:

There will be a formal and regulated process for appointing club coaches. The changes adopted by the Board of Directors include the following:
Updated prerequisites for both the coach and the club to ensure a successful experience
A new club coach training module for the club and the coach within Base Camp
Reporting requirements to increase awareness and help keep the coach focused on their objectives and goals
Opportunity to earn District leader credit, in addition to club coach credit, by bringing the club up to at least 20 paid members by June 30

Any coaches appointed on or before June 30, 2022 will continue to follow the existing Club Coach Program guidelines—including the allowance to achieve District leader credit, announced by the Board of Directors in August 2021.

For more information, please read the email sent to Club Officers on May 18, 2022 and the Board of Directors meeting minutes from March 1, 2021. If you have any questions about these changes, please email [email protected] or visit our dedicated resources page.
