Club Sponsor, Mentor, Coach

Become a Club Mentor, Sponsor, or Coach
​
One requirement for earning a Distinguished Toastmasters (DTM) Award is to have served successfully as a club mentor, sponsor, or coach. These three roles are official assignments made by the District Director in consultation with the Club Growth Director and reported to Toastmasters International so that the member can get credit.
​
New Club Mentors and Sponsors
A New Club Mentor meets regularly with the club for 6-12 months, helping the members build the skills they need to guide the club.
​
A New Club Sponsor helps a club get chartered by identifying a potential club, finding a location, recruiting members, collecting fees, and doing the charter paperwork.
​
A new club may have up to 2 sponsors and two mentors.
​​
For more details, please email Kathleen Washington, DTM, Club Growth Director.
Club Coaches
A Club Coach is an experienced Toastmaster officially assigned by the District Director to work with a struggling club with 12 or fewer members and has requested help from the District to help that club become Distinguished. The assignment lasts until the end of the current club year (June 30) if the club reaches Distinguished status or better by that date. If Distinguished Club status is not reached in the first year, the assignment is extended to the end of the next club year (the next June 30).
