Club Ambassador Program

 

The Club Ambassador Program (CAP) encourages visits to other clubs in the district and rewards the member’s growth through this exploration experience. Every visit to a new club is an opportunity to learn new practices to take back to your club(s) and share the best practices you already know.

We encourage members to visit any Toastmasters club wherever and whenever you are able to, including clubs throughout District 101, all over the country, or even around the world. In addition to recognizing the best practices reported by the Ambassadors, the Club Ambassador Program also awards the most visited clubs for their hospitality throughout the year.

District 101 Clubs Currently Meeting Online

Many clubs in District 101 are already meeting online. Feel free to join any of these Online Club Meetings as a Club Ambassador and continue to grow.

Clubs Which Have Hosted Ambassadors

 

Who can become a Club Ambassador?

Any member in good standing, including Area and Division Directors.

 

What will YOU gain?

  • New ideas to bring back to and rejuvenate your home club
  • Confidence from speaking in front of unfamiliar audience
  • The satisfaction of helping in a meeting function
  • Recognition of your adventurous spirit while building our district inside out
  • Experience for becoming a club coach, mentor or a club sponsor in the future
  • New contacts and meaningful connections to promote your growth!

 

What will the visited CLUB gain?

  • New ideas from the ambassador
  • The ambassador may be interested in a dual membership into the visited club
  • More knowledge and confidence for the existing club members

 

What are the guidelines for the CAP Rewards Program?

  • Earn 1 point for each club visit within the Toastmasters year. (You may visit a club as many times as you wish; however only 1 point will be awarded regardless of the number of visits).
  • An Area Director or Division Director visiting a club within their own area or division (including featured clubs) are not eligible to earn points for their visit.
  • To earn credit for a club visit, Ambassadors must submit a report within 7 days of their visit.

 

How will YOU be recognized?

Toastmasters with the most points and the Most Hospitable Club will be recognized at district events, and may also be granted free admission to some of those events.

All entries for visits after July 1, 2019 will count towards the total point (or Most Hospitable Club) tally.

The greatest reward for everyone is the experience!

  • Observe the meeting details, participate and take notes
  • Take pictures, too (optional)

  • List the observed best practices, areas of improvements and what you would implement in your own club.
