Club Goals
An important step in any organization, defining goals
and objectives for your club and its members is critical
to setting the direction of your club, determining the
activities in the club, and outlining the steps needed
to help make your club a success.
Vision and Mission Statements
Perhaps the first step in defining any set of goals
is to state the vision and the mission of your club.
Once you know where you want to take your club, it will
be much easier to determine the steps needed to get
there.
Club Success Plan
After your club has defined its mission, the executive
team should prepare a Club Success Plan detailing the
specific targets for your club.
The Distinguished Club Program
Many clubs use the Distinguished Club Program as the
basis for defining their Club Success Plan -- and for
good reason. Administered annually by Toastmasters International
, the Distinguished Club Program sets a number of goals
for clubs to help grow and educate their membership.
On reaching a certain number of these goals, clubs receive
special recognition for their outstanding efforts in
supporting their members. While reaching these goals
does not necessarily ensure the success of a club, it
does represent several very solid steps in the right
direction.
