We need Club Coaches! We are actively seeking experienced Toastmasters to consult with and advise the officers and members of our low-member clubs. There are opportunities in EVERY Division, so there is a nearby club that needs YOU!
What is a Club Coach?
A Coach is appointed by the District Governor (Alanda Dyer, DTM). The Coach mentors the officers and members of a low-member club to help it become Distinguished.
Why should I be a Coach? What's in it for me?
Service as a Club Coach for a low-member club or as a Sponsor or Mentor for a new club is required to earn your ALS. Because the High Performance Leadership (HPL) program is also required for the ALS, why not combine the two? Make your coaching experience an HPL project. You will learn the 6 dimensions of service leadership and practice team building and project management skills in the process!
Am I eligible?
Probably! If you are experienced in club operations and administration, and if you understand the Distinguished Club Program, you can be a club Coach. This does not require achievement of any specific educational level in Toastmasters. The District Governor will assess your skills and determine if you can serve.
You must not be a member of the club to which you are assigned at the start of your service. Once assigned, you may join the club.
How do I find a club to help?
Your District Marketing Team is here to manage that for you. We have a list of low-member clubs in your area, and we will work to find the appropriate coaching opportunity. We can match you with a club that works for you - the right day, time and club climate.
A club is eligible for coaching if it has 12 or fewer members.
How do I get started?
Contact Club Coaching Chair Maira Pineda, ACG, CL. She will work with you to find the right coaching opportunity. Once you are approved by the District Governor, you may begin serving.
What do I do as a Coach?
You will work with the club officers to set goals and develop a plan to help the club achieve Distinguished status or better. You do NOT have to attend every club meeting - you are there to advise and motivate, NOT run the club!
To learn more, plan to attend our next Coach training session on September 15th.
When do I finish serving as a Coach?
Your service is complete at the end of the first year when the club becomes Distinguished or better. If the club does not achieve Distinguished status, you may serve for a second year.
I wish you all success in the pursuit of your personal goals, whatever they may be!

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!
