CLUB COACH

foster a quality experience

What is the program?

The Club Coach Program allows experienced Toastmaster members to assist in rebuilding club membership and restoring club quality.

A successful club coach will:

  • Build rapport with club officers and members.

  • Instill enthusiasm, comradery, and structure within the club.

  • Assess the club environment and recommend best practices for success.

  • Work with club officers to develop a Club Success Plan.

  • Motivate the club to strive for Distinguished Club Program (DCP) recognition.

Coaches who help clubs achieve Distinguished status or higher in the Distinguished Club Program will receive credit in the education program and a digital certificate of accomplishment.
