Vision: To inspire all Toastmasters of Division H to attain their educational and leadership goals for 2017-2018, through mentoring, recognition and training. Division H will be a distinguished division.
Mission: To ensure every club knows how to create and implement a club success plan. Members will create clearly outlined and goals to earn their communication (CC, ACB, ACS, ACG) and leadership goals (CL, ALB, ALS, DTM).
Objective 1: We will achieve success by providing the training for VPEs to track member goals using a “VPE notebook” for members who may not have their manuals at club meetings.
Objective 2: We will expand mentoring opportunities both (member to member within clubs) and (member to member from other clubs) within the Division.
Objective 3: We will maintain a base 20 members for each club.
Objective 4: We will add four new clubs to the Division.
