Toastmasters International (TI) Website Changes
On July 26, TI made a change to their website that affects how individuals login and access Club Business. Due to the requirement to login first, we can no longer provide a link directly to Club Business at TI or to the Area Club Visit Form.
Each member will need an individual e-mail address maintained in the member profile at toastmasters.org. This e-mail address cannot be shared with another member.
Club and district officers will no longer be required to have a separate login to conduct club and district business. The single member login will give you access to everything you need.
Members with a complete profile at www.toastmasters.org will be able to conduct business, purchase products at member-only prices and enjoy other online membership benefits. Simply log in at www.toastmasters.org/login, access “My Profile” and make sure your e-mail address and other information is complete and accurate.
Make Your Dreams Take Flight
is the District’s theme for the 2010-2011 Toastmasters year. All of us have dreams that we want to see fulfilled in our lives, but many of those dreams never get off the ground. Toastmasters can make your dreams a reality.
The best way to start making our dreams take flight is to consistently use the educational program. Most of us joined to become better speakers, but how will this occur if we are content to sit in the audience and clap for our fellow Toastmasters every week? The Competent Communicator (CC) manual gives us the tools to become a great speaker. If you have a dream to give inspiring, informational, or humorous speeches outside of the Toastmasters world, then using the CC manual can hone and sharpen your speaking skills. If you stop practicing then you will get rusty.
If you are a club officer this year, you are already taking the next step to develop your leadership skills. Another word for dream is vision. As a club leader, I encourage you to develop a vision for your club, and then plan to make that vision a reality.
As I watch eagles soar through the air, I think about the amazing places that they can go. Our dreams can also take us to amazing places, but only if we get out of our nest, flap our wings, and take off. Throughout this Toastmasters year, please share your story with me; I want to hear about your dreams and how they have taken flight. Together, we can make our dreams take flight.
