“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”
Johann von Goethe

Recognition


Not only will you learn speaking and leadership skills, you will be recognized for your efforts. Once you’ve completed all 10 projects in the Communication and Leadership Manual, you will receive the Competent Commucicator (CC) award, a certificate you can display at home or in the office. If you wish, Toastmasters International will also send a letter to your employer about your accomplishment.

There are other recognition opportunities, too. Toastmasters has two educational tracks: a communication track, in which you develop your speaking skills, and a leadership track, in which you develop leadership skills. When you participate in the communication track, you can be recognized as an Advanced Communicator Bronze (ACB), Advanced Communicator Silver (ACS), and Advanced Communicator Gold (ACG). When you participate in the leadership track, you can be recognized as a Competent Leader (CL), an Advanced Leader Bronze (ALB) and an Advanced Leader Silver (ALS). The tracks are not mutually exclusive. You can work in both tracks at the same time; in fact, you are encouraged to do so. The ultimate recognition is the Distinguished Toastmaster award (DTM), given to those who have worked in both tracks and have received the Advanced Communicator Gold and Advanced Leader Silver awards.

There is lots to do and learn when you fully participate in a Toastmasters meeting.
