In January
2006, a new leadership award programs was introduced and educational awards
were renamed in order to distinguish between speech programs and leadership
programs. This has strengthened leadership training and made all educational
designations in the communication and leadership tracks clearer and more
meaningful.
The development of leadership skills has always been part of the
Toastmasters program. Members have had the opportunity to learn and practice
leadership skills while serving in various club meeting roles and in officer
positions. In fact, many people join because they want to improve their
leadership skills. Since 2006, the following improvements in TI’s educational program
have been added:
- A new manual on leadership and a new
leadership award.
The 10-project Competent Leadership manual will
help you develop leadership skills while serving in various club meeting
roles. The manual made its debut in January 2006 and is included in the
new-member kit, which all new members receive. Other members may purchase
the manual (Catalog No. 265) for $6.00 (U.S.) plus shipping. Members
completing the manual will receive the new Competent Leader award.
- New titles for the existing
leadership awards.
The old Competent Leader award became
the Advanced Leader Bronze award. The old Advanced Leader award became the Advanced Leader Silver award. The requirements for the Advanced
Leader Bronze award will include completion of the new Competent Leader
manual. Those who have
already earned the Competent Leader award under the current requirements and
who apply for the Advanced Leader award after June 30, 2006, will receive
the new Advanced Leader Silver certificate.
- New titles for the communication
track awards.
Effective July 1, 2006, the Competent Toastmaster
(CTM) award, given to those completing the Communication and Leadership
Program manual, became the Competent Communicator
award. The Advanced Toastmaster Bronze, Advanced Toastmaster Silver and
Advanced Toastmaster Gold awards will become the Advanced Communicator Bronze, Advanced Communicator Silver and Advanced
Communicator Gold awards respectively, with no changes to award
requirements.
- A change in the Distinguished
Toastmaster award requirements. Beginning July 1, 2006, to be
eligible for the award, a member must have received the Advanced
Communicator Gold (or old Advanced Toastmaster Gold) and the Advanced
Leader Silver (or old Advanced Leader) awards.
