Member Resources

The Toastmasters Education Program has two aims:

To help members become:

Better Communicators and Better Leaders

To address this, the education program is divided into two tracks - communication and leadership. Each member has the opportunity to set and achieve his or her individual goals within the tracks. (See chart below)

The Communication Track
Beginning with projects from the Competent Communications "Basic" manual, this track is dedicated to improving member's speaking and listening skills.

The Competent Communication Manual
is designed to give a strong start in developing a core set of skills for public speaking. Each of the ten projects in this basic manual focuses on a certain aspect of speech making -- from organization to delivery.

The Advanced Communication Manuals
challenge members to further improve their skills in a specific area of public speaking. Some manuals focus on "real life" situations such as public relations and technical briefings, while others help develop more widely applicable skills such as humor and storytelling.

The Leadership Track
Beginning with projects from the Competent Leadership manual, this track focuses on developing a member's leadership skills through a variety of Club and District activities.

The Competent Leadership Manual
focuses on different leadership skills through ten projects, each providing the member background information and an assignment that requires serving in one or more specified meeting or club roles in which the aspects of that skill can be practiced.

The Advanced Leadership Manuals
challenge members to further improve their leadership skills. Members learn and develop leadership skills as they deliver presentations in a variety of topics

Leadership Opportunities
Toastmasters members may take advantage of many opportunities to strengthen their leadership skills. Many members take on leadership roles within the organization while others prefer to conduct specialized workshops to help their fellow members or their community.

Every year, District 4 sponsors several awards recognizing both clubs and individuals for their outstanding performances during the year in the areas of member education, leadership, and the overall promotion of the Toastmasters program.
