D39 Vision 2020

Greetings District 39 Toastmasters, Why did you join Toastmasters?  Why do you stay?  I joined to improve my communication skills.  I stay because of what I have learned and the wonderful people who have become my friends along the way.  I hope you have a similar story you can share. The Toastmasters New Year begins on July 1st.  There are a few changes this year, but our Mission is still the same. If we focus on doing the right things at the right time, we will achieve amazing things this year.  How will we know what the right things are? We need to plan for Success.  I am asking all leaders in our great District to collaborate with each other and plan for a President’s Distinguished year. Let’s be One Team heading down One Path becoming One District that everyone wants to join!   District Mission: We build new clubs and support all clubs in achieving excellence. Vision Statement: District 39 will achieve President’s Distinguished status before May 31, 2020 Slogan: Focus Together on the Most Important Thing Motto: One Team • One Path • One District What is the Most Important Thing?  (Execute Success Plan) Core Values: Integrity, Respect, Service, Excellence Big Picture: President’s Distinguished District The One Thing: Execute Success Plan     Guiding Principles: Speak with hope about the toughest of issues.
