What is a quality club? It is a club which uses the “basics”, learned from more than 75 years of experience.

These “basics” include:

1. Club officers who are trained and actively participate in the Distinguished Club Plan. 
2. Every Club meets weekly for greater participation and learning. 
3. A six (6) week club meeting schedule is provided which includes 2 to 4 speeches per meeting. One speech, or an extra “mini” speech of 4 to 6 minutes is specifically designed to be educational. It can be about Toastmasters, speaking skills, personal development, etc. (It’s also a great way to go through the basic manual again for a second CTM! - Yes, you can complete another CTM!) All club members are contacted several days prior to the meeting to confirm meeting roles.
4. Members arrive on time, prepared and ready for education and fun! 
5. Prepared agendas are distributed to all members and guests.
6. All speeches are manual speeches, and speakers receive positive feed-back and thoughtful evaluations. Table Topics is a part of each meeting.
7. Meetings start and end on time!
8. Business meetings are kept short. Problems are discussed and solved at executive council meetings. 
9. Guests are welcomed, assigned a host, provided with Toastmasters materials, and invited to join. 
10. New members are given an impressive induction, given new member orientation, provided a mentor and become included immediately in future meeting assignments.
11. The club uses and sets goals based on the Distinguished Club Program.
12. All club members understand the value of the Distinguished Club Program and contribute to achieve Distinguished Club recognition!
13. All members have fun!!
