Club Officer Training Hub
Club officers are best served by consistent, professional, and engaging training that supports the brand, enhances member experience, and helps them grow as leaders. The materials provided by Toastmasters International are the standard of quality and consistency that should make up the core of District-sponsored club officer training.
These MATERIALS were developed by the Club Officer Training Project Development Team, a group of past District leaders. They worked under the guidance of the Club Officer Training Working Group, a team of Past International Presidents. We are so grateful to both groups for their commitment to strengthening District-sponsored Club Officer Training.
