Demo Team Training - did YOU miss it?

Last weekend was the inaugural training event for the Marketing Team. Fred & Wilma Springer trained 16 leaders in how to start a new club and present an effective demonstration meeting to get everyone in attendance to sign up. Among the topics covered:

  • How to start a new club from initial lead to charter in 6 weeks or less!
  • How leads for new clubs are generated
  • How to write a "cold call" letter to mine for new clubs
  • Planning the demonstration meeting
  • Sample agendas for the demonstration meeting
  • Establishing the program for the second meeting
  • Turning the club over to the new club Mentor
This program was a tremendous hit! Comments were universally positive: "The best training I have ever received!" "This should be offered at every District officer training opportunity!"

If you missed this one, don't make the same mistake twice! This weekend we are offering the second training in the series - for sponsoring, mentoring or coaching clubs. This training will be conducted by Past International Director Ken Garber, DTM. Ken is a candidate this year for 3rd Vice President of Toastmasters International, and is passionate about building strong, healthy clubs to bring the benefits of Toastmasters to more people than ever before.

As before, this training session will be held from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove. The location has moved across campus to the Family Life Center at 13280 Champman Avenue, Garden Grove, CA 92840. Please RSVP to Elisa Roddy, DTM to reserve your spot!

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
