Dear Toastmaster,
I have exciting news to share
with you. Toastmasters International is embarking on one of its most
significant projects in recent memory: the development and implementation
of a revitalized education program. The program will offer a learning
experience that meets the needs of current and prospective members in an
evolving global marketplace.
Expected to launch in the
second half of 2014, the updated education program is being developed
in accordance with the Board of Directors' 2010 Strategic Plan, which calls
for a renewed focus on leadership and an updated communication program.
While honoring the core and
history of the existing education program, the revitalized program will
offer improvements in key areas. These include:
- A clearer
path for achieving educational goals
- Enhanced use
of technology and online learning tools
- Tangible
ways to demonstrate and measure core competencies in communication and
leadership
The program developers will
work closely with a groups of core volunteers, who will be invited to
share their feedback during various phases of the process. As a club member
or leader, this represents a unique opportunity to be part of Toastmasters
history. You have a chance to put your imprint on a program that will benefit
tens of thousands of members for years to come!
If you are interested in
volunteering, we are seeking the first of two groups of volunteers now, so
please visit www.toastmasters.org/revitalizededucationprogram to
learn more. Be sure to return to this page often for information and
updates on the revitalized education program.
Please join me in supporting
this new and exciting project!
Sincerely,
John Lau, DTM
2012-2013 International
