‘Toastmaster Awards’

The 2010-2011 Season for Speakeasy Toastmasters is drawing to a close. At the next meeting, which is scheduled for the 19th of May 2011, 6 members of the Club will be achieving educational awards, based on the number of manual speeches delivered. This will be a big night for these members as they will all be reaching milestones in their speaking careers.

The Competent Communicator award is bestowed on Toastmasters who complete the Competent Communicator manual which consists of ten speeches. Subsequent educational awards are based on completing advanced manuals, with five speeches in each manual. The Advanced Communicator Bonze is awarded for completing two advanced manuals, the Advanced Communicator Silver is awarded for completing a further two advanced manuals and the Advanced Communicator Gold is achieved when another pair of advanced manuals is completed.

Organizational achievements are acknowledged by leadership awards. The Competent Leader award recognises members who have performed meeting duties, such as timekeeper, the Advanced Leader Bronze recognises Toastmasters who have served on the Club Committee while the Advanced Leader Gold recognises Toastmasters who have taken up leadership positions outside of their Club. Toastmasters who have achieved both the Advanced Communicator Gold and Advanced Leader Gold are eligible for the Distinguished Toastmaster Award (DTM).

Speak Easy Toastmasters will hold their next meeting at the Hibernian Hotel, Mallow, Thursday May 19th 2011 at 7:50PM. Why not come along and join us for a taste of toastmasters in what promises to be a great evening. Remember non-members are more than welcome to attend and will not be asked to speak.
