District 26 __ Serving CO, WY, NE

“The greater the loyalty of the group toward the group, the greater is the motivation among the members to achieve the goals of the group, and the greater the probability that the group will achieve its goals.”

District 26 has used the international brand refresh as the catalyst to raise the bar and expand our training to include all forms of communication. We believe that in going beyond public speaking to promote effective oral communication, leadership skills, and use of social media, we will reach a wider audience and develop a more professional image and performance. We urge all clubs to post a link on their website that will take members directly to the District 26 Dialogue and the D26 website.

Recognition Program Update

In August 2010, the Board of Directors approved revisions to the area, division, and district-level recognition programs, placing a renewed emphasis on club quality and member satisfaction. Beginning July 1, these recognition program revisions will take effect. Become familiar with the changes and prepare to have a successful year!

Improved Login Webpage

To make logging into the Toastmasters International website easier, the login webpage has been enhanced. Now you can recover your password easier and log in with either your email address or User Name. A new “Keep me logged in” option will remember your login information from your personal computer for three months.

Receiving Multiple Magazines?

Many Toastmasters receive duplicate copies of the Toastmaster magazine each month because of multiple club memberships. Use your extra magazines to bring new members into your club by following these suggestions. If you prefer to receive your magazine digitally instead of in hard copy, or to cancel extra subscriptions, notify membership@toastmasters.org
