2021-2022 Club Ambassador


Want to Serve the District in an Important Role?
Complete a Level 4 or 5 Leadership Project in Pathways by being a D57 Club Ambassador!

We Are Looking for Voracious Toastmasters Who Want a Great Challenging Pathways Project

It is a new role called  the Club Ambassador!

Purpose:

Provide guidance to struggling clubs that do not qualify for a Club Coach  
An example would be a club with 14 members and their DCP score is 0, 1 or 2

Goal:

Help a struggling club increase their DCP Score by a minimum of 2 points before June 2022
(serving as a Club Ambassador does not require adhering to the rigorous Club Coach requirements)

Objectives:

Proactively help clubs before they slip into the situation where they desperately need a Club Coach
Lead a team of at least 3 including the appropriate Area Director
Learn hands-on club mentoring/coaching techniques that could be leveraged later towards obtaining your DTM 
Obtain credit in Pathways as the leader of a Level 4 or 5 Leadership or HPL Project
WIN-WIN Approach!

Recognition:

Awards for Excellent Club Ambassadors presented at the Year-End Ceremony in July 2022
Recognition by the Trio and Across the Entire District

So what are you waiting for?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

Can I get Pathways credit for an Open House?
Yes you can!

Any member can suggest holding an Open House.  When you present that idea to your club, you could use Present a Proposal (Level 3 in Innovative Planning).  

As you guide your club to create the event, you may want to use Understanding your Leadership Style (Level 2 in many Paths)

On the day of the Open House, you could use Manage Online Meetings (Level 4 in most Paths)

These are not the only Pathways projects that can be combined with Open Houses, so check out the Pathways Paths and Projects catalog on this website under the Member Resources tab/Pathways Learning Zone.

For additional ideas, contact your Open House Chair, Lindy Sinclair, DTM4 at openhouse@d57tm.org
