Sponsors, Mentors & Coaches: You can still sign up!

Ken Garber's training for new club Sponsors and Mentors and for low-member club Coaches was well attended this last Saturday. Attendees learned what it takes to start a new club and the role of the Sponsor and Mentor in the process.
  • Sponsors work with the District Marketing Team to convert a new club lead into a chartered club.
  • Mentors then work for at least 6 months with the new club to help members learn how the Toastmasters system works, help setup the club operating parameters, and help plan and conduct meetings.
Although people throughout Founder's District have signed on to help us build new clubs, we still need more. In order to meet our target of AT LEAST 39 new clubs by June 30, 2008, we will need AT LEAST 39 Sponsors and 78 Mentors. So there is still room for you even if you missed this training opportunity!

We will repeat both Demo Team and Sponsor/Mentor/Coach training in September.

Welcome to Founder"s District Marketing Blog!

This year we are starting a new communication tool within Founder's District: this blog. We invite you to steal our ideas to improve your club by attracting new members, keeping your current members, and rebuilding your club with special events like Open Houses or Speechcraft.

We also invite you to join with us in achieving your Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) goals. When you join a Demonstration Team or serve as a new club Sponsor or Mentor, you are helping Founder's District grow, bringing the many benefits of Toastmasters to more people throughout Southern California. At the same time, you get accomplish one goal toward your Advanced Leader Silver (ALS) - the last leadership step to the DTM!

When you serve as a Club Coach for a low-member club, you not only accomplish a goal toward your ALS and DTM, you also reap the benefits of learning how to coach, motivate and inspire a group of people to grow, thrive and help their club become Distinguished, Select Distinguished or President's Distinguished. For more information on how a club achieves one of these prestigious awards, view the Distinguished Club Program manual at the Toastmasters International website.

Let us help you achieve your personal Toastmasters goals this year! To find out more about our upcoming training programs for Demo Teams, Sponsors, Mentors and Coaches, please contact me, or visit us on the web for event information and useful files to download.

We wish you all the success in the coming year!

The Founder's District Marketing Team
