Between June 24 and August 31, District 83 conducted seventeen Officer Trainings. In total, approximately 640 officers out of 1,148, or around 56% of officers, have been trained in Round 1 for the current Toastmaster year.<\/p>\n

Now, that total may be off. The total is based on all clubs having seven officers, but that is not necessarily true. Some clubs do not have seven officers. This could be good news because our results may be even greater than what I have presented at this time. On the other hand, when I say approximately 640 officers were trained, it is possible that some of our officers have been trained out of our District and the data has not been passed to our District yet or that some forms were not completed in a way that allows our district to identify club and officer\u2019s position.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Officer Training is a determining factor in achieving your club success plan and meeting all your goals in the Distinguished Club Program. With that said, this is the time to review your club\u2019s current Officer Training status. Please go to Toastmasters International Club Performance Reports for District 83 <\/a>and check on the records for your club. If you find that you have not received all your officer’s trained numbers, please email me<\/a> to identify who is missing in your club and then research to give your club the credit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I also wanted to say that this initial tally has encouraging numbers and demonstrates the level of our club officer\u2019s level of commitment in their areas of responsibility. I would like to congratulate those who have been trained as your actions speak volumes about your leadership and interest in self-development. Let\u2019s be frank if we find ourselves playing a game, wouldn\u2019t we want to clearly understand the rules of the game, so that we can at least enjoy the experience?<\/p>\n

In my view, the answer is \u201cof course\u201d. I remember when I joined my first club and one of my mentors asked me if I would be interested in serving as a Club Officer. While I was willing and jumped to the offer, it took me some time to fully understand what I had signed up for and what my responsibilities were. Once I learned that part, each new officer role became an adventure. It made a difference not only to me, but also to the members I served.<\/p>\n

Life is a permanent search for new learning opportunities. As the Socratic paradox goes, \u201cI know that I know nothing”.<\/p>\n

This is our “New Beginnings.” Let’s be sponges and take every opportunity to grow. Let\u2019s take the next steps in our personal development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
