Incentives

We are delighted to announce the launch of our Incentive Program for 2022/23. 

All clubs in District 71 are invited and encouraged to get involved. This is a very special year for District 71 as it celebrated its 50th Anniversary on 1 July 2022, this Toastmaster year. Let’s all work together to make our Clubs, Areas and Divisions Presidents Distinguished and have a big celebration at the end of the year!

Each Incentive is aimed at helping you to achieve your Club Success Plan for the year. 

For further information or if you have any ideas for Incentives our Incentives Manager Eileen O’Neill would love to hear from you.

It is important for all committee members in a club to understand what it is the other members are trying to achieve, why they are doing it and how they can support each other.

This incentive supports the Club’s Success Plan by providing clubs with a better chance of achieving their goals under the Distinguished Club Program (DCP)

Many clubs experience a loss in membership at September renewals as existing members leave the club for lots of different reasons. This incentive rewards clubs which renew 80% or more of their membership base at 30th June 2021. Having a good base of experienced members is important to offer mentoring to new members and stability to the club. 

It’s a good idea to follow up with members who do not renew to help club officers to understand the reason for not renewing and to extend an invite to rejoin at a future stage. They may be happy to stay on the club’s email list with this in mind.

Good PR attracts new guests, invites discussion and improves the reputation of the Club and Toastmasters generally.

Many clubs experience a loss in membership at September renewals as existing members leave the club for lots of different reasons. Recruiting in the early months helps to maintain the membership based upon the number of members at 30 June.

Maintaining a healthy membership number (25+) gives the club a much better opportunity to hold quality meetings with enough members to avoid double roles. Quality club meetings attract new members. Healthy club growth is an important part of Club Success.
