Club Goals
The Distinguished Club Program is an annual program, running from July 1 through June 30th. The program consists of 10 goals your club should strive to achieve during this time using the Club Success Plan. The Club Executive Teams are given a book called, "Distinguished Club Program / Club Success Plan - How to be a Distinguished Club" at the beginning of their terms.
The Toastmasters International World Headquarters tracks the progress of the clubs toward these goals throughout the year, sending quarterly progress reports to the Club Presidents. At fiscal year-end, World Headquarters calculates the number of goals the club achieved and recognizes it as a Distinguished Club, Select Distinguished Club or President's Distinguished Club based on the number of goals achieved and the number of members it has.
