Distinguished Toastmaster

The Distinguished Toastmaster award is the highest our organization bestows. The DTM recognizes a superior level of achievement in both communication and leadership. In our District, it takes on average 8 years for our members to reach this level (although we had someone who did it slightly over 3 years), and only about 2% of our members reach it. Our DTMs who are still members are on average 12 years in Toastmasters.

To earn the DTM in Pathways, you are required to:
• Complete two learning paths.
• Serve as a club officer for 12 months and participate in a district-sponsored club officer training program. (If your club has six-month terms for officers, you can fulfill this requirement by serving as a club officer twice, but you don’t have to do it in consecutive terms.)
• Serve a complete one-year term as a district officer.
• Serve successfully as a club mentor (new club) or coach.
• Serve successfully as a club sponsor (new club) or conduct a Speechcraft or Youth Leadership program.
• Complete the DTM project. (Members are required to create and implement a project of their own design, in which they demonstrate the skills and expertise they have gained.)

Congratulations to the outstanding members who earned DTM awards.
