Club Ambassador Program
Are you interested in seeing other Toastmasters Clubs in your own town or all around the world? Now you have one more reason to do it! By enrolling in Club Ambassador Program and submitting the highest numbers of reports by filling this form you can become a champion of your Area, Division or even the District and receive surprise prizes during the District Conference!
The rules are very simple:
- Visit a Toastmasters Club all over the world other than yours (visit can’t be a part of your duty as a District Officer)
- Fill the Club Ambassador Program form after the visit if you have permission from the Club you are visiting
- Don’t forget to share your memories on our Facebook page.
Proxy for International Convention
We want all Clubs in District 108 to be represented during the Annual Business Meeting which will take place during the International Convention. Of course, it would be great if all Club Presidents could join it in person and of course we need to be realistic about it. That’s why each Club can assign a proxy and even instruct the proxy holder on how to vote!
If you are a Club President or Secretary, please assign your proxy at toastmasters.org.
Here you can find the detailed instruction how to do it. Click here for Polish version.
