Club Success Plan

The club writes a plan. Then it works the plan. That is how a club becomes Distinguished.

Submit the Club Success Plan by September 30.
New clubs: 90 days after charter. Email pqd@d50tm.org if you are stuck.

Why it matters

Starting 2025-2026, a club must submit the Club Success Plan by September 30 to be eligible for Distinguished recognition. Fees and membership rules still apply. Check toastmasters.org if the year changes.

Recognition levels

Distinguished: 5 goals, and 20 members or net growth of 3.
Select Distinguished: 7 goals, and 20 members or net growth of 5.
President’s Distinguished: 9 goals and 20 members.
Smedley Distinguished: 10 goals and 25 members.
Transfer members do not count toward that total.

The 10 goals, in plain words

Education: Level 1, Level 2, more Level 2, Level 3, then two higher awards (Level 4, path complete, or DTM).
Membership: four new, dual, or reinstated members, then four more.
Training: four officers trained in June–August, then four officers trained in December–February.
Admin: dues renewal and officer list turned in on time.
