Toastmasters Leadership Institute
- Round 1: June 1 – August 31
- Round 2: November 1 – February 28 (or 29)
- At least four officers must be trained each period to earn Distinguished Club Program goal #9 credit, but we encourage all seven (7) officers to attend.
You must train for the club officer position that you were elected or appointed to.
Toastmasters requires 4 hours club officers training. Please plan to stay from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM to receive credit for your club(s).
Here is an opportunity for you to learn more about your particular office, as well as learn from very knowledgeable Toastmasters colleagues. This is the premier educational opportunity for both club officers and any Toastmasters member to come together to network, share ideas, and be inspired. This Toastmasters Leadership Institute (TLI) is the only one being offered for Round 2 of Club Officers’ Training. It’s where club officers receive training on how to best serve their clubs, and all Toastmasters can expand their skills as communicators and leaders with additional educational sessions. For 2024, with our District’s participation in the 90 day Global Advertising Campaign, this TLI is timely for our clubs to learn how to use Speechcraft as an additional resource to attract and retain members. Club Officer Role Breakout Sessions will take place following the keynote speaker’s presentation.
! Online TLI – January 27, 2024 – 9:00 AM MST
Keynote Speaker: Sheryl Roush, DTM, PDG, AS, CVP

Considered to be “A Club’s #1 Membership Building Tool” Speechcraft is a blended learning program for non-members interested in building their communication and public speaking skills.
Discover ways to keep your Club healthy, by hosting a Speechcraft series inside the Club. Your members can also conduct a program in the community, or even host a series to help launch a program inside a Corporation.

- What Speechcraft is, and how it will benefit your Club and Members
- How to plan, kick-off and market an effective Speechcraft series
- Tips to attract Guests, and how to convert them into Members
