Toastmaster Tracks
The Toastmasters educational program consists of two tracks - a Communication track and a Leadership track. A member can travel both tracks to achieve their goals - often at the same time. To learn more about these educational programs, check out the Toastmaster Tracks.

Distinguished Program
The Distinguished Program helps to ensure every member reaches their Communication and Leadership goals. The program runs July 1st to June 30th every year. Every club should set their goals at the start of the Toastmaster year - and start working toward those goals today!

Every Distinguished Club point you achieve works toward points at the next level.  If your Club is Distinguished, your Area gains points.  If the Area is Distinguished, the Division gains points.  If District 6 becomes Distinguished - then we're meeting our goals as Toastmasters!  Check out the following links to learn what it takes to be Distinguished:

Quality Toastmaster Clubs 
What is a "quality" Toastmaster Club?  It's a Club that uses the "basics", learned from more than 75 years of experience.  Every Toastmaster Club can be a success when they strive for a Quality Club.
