August 7 – Summary of DTM Boot Camp

Submitted by Melanie

Dan M. and Eileen S. facilitated and organized the District’s DTM Boot Camp on August 7, 2018 at St. Augustine’s Church. About 35 people prospective DTMs attended.

Several 10 minute presentations covered all of the major components towards completing a DTM, included: 
  • Club Coaching (Lorraine Wheatley)
  • Sponsoring and Mentoring Clubs (Marg Faryna)
  • District Officer (Fern Hardie on behalf of Glenn Walker)
  • High Performance Leadership (Dan McCosh)
  • Youth Leadershiip (Karen Tober)
  • Speechcraft (Rafena Ally) 
Crystal Douglas provided the attendees with several resources to help guide them into drafting and implementing a plan to DTM completion. Hard to believe, but there is only 22 months left until the traditional program expires. Let’s show each other what we’re made of!

If you weren’t able to attend this session, please contact Dan McCosh  (dandtm@telus.net) who will put you in touch with resources, including a mentor to assist in keeping you accountable and on track towards the completion of your DTM!

Special thank you to Eileen S., Sergeant-at-Arms for the yummy variety of snacks and to St. Augustine’s Church for the use of their beautiful facility.

Our next regular meeting is August 21 with the theme, "The Winning Ticket".

Lastly, check out Lingo’s website (https://lingo.toastmastersclubs.org/) for our next boot camp on Pathways & Beyond taking place on September 4! This boot camp will be of extra interest if you are currently a President, VP Education or Secretary of your club.
