Distinguished Club Goals
Administered by Toastmasters International (TI), the
Distinguished Club Program (DCP) has a strong focus
on educational achievement and club membership. The
Distinguished Club Program is an annual program covering
an entire Toastmasters year, from July 1 through June 30.
At the end of this period, clubs will receive recognition
for their efforts based upon the number of DCP goals
reached during the year.
