Reminders

Dues Renewal

To ensure your club is in good standing and receives credit for the Distinguished Club Program, remember to log in to Club Central and submit your dues payments by April 1, 2022. Per Policy 2.0, the minimum renewal requirement is eight paid members—at least three of whom were club members during the previous renewal period. Unpaid officers lose access to Club Central 30 days after their membership expires. Email the Club and Member Support Team at renewals@toastmasters.org if you have questions.

Help New Clubs Charter in Your District

Do you have prospective clubs in your District hoping to charter? Set these clubs up for a successful chartering process by ensuring they use the most up-to-date version of our charter documents, located in the Resource Library and in the “How to Build a Toastmasters Club” guide.

Support Members With Path Selection

When viewing your club’s roster in Club Central, look out for members who do not have “Pathways enabled” below their name. This indicates that they have not yet selected their first free path. To get them started in the Toastmasters Pathways learning experience and help them choose their first path, have them navigate to their profile and follow the prompts to select a path. If members need additional help, have them email educationprogram@toastmasters.org.
