Of the two, Toastmasters Int. suggests attending TLI. As such, the District is working to improve the quantity and quality of the education sessions offered at TLIs.
Reasons a TLI is Best Standard and approved format delivered by experienced instructors.
Assurance officers will receive training credit.
Opportunity to network and exchange ideas.
Enrichment or special education sessions of value to all members.
Faster and more reliable reporting to TI.
Excellent training facilities and support materials.

2015 Leadership Breakfasts Remember to mark your calendar for the Leadership Breakfasts coming in February 2015. There will be two events this year, one in the Reno area on February 7 and one in the Sacramento area on February 14. Both events are gearing up to be special and you will benefit from attending either or both. Of note, the keynote for the Sacramento Leadership Breakfast will be presented by 2005 World Champion of Public Speaking Lance Miller. You will be able to find more detailed information about each event on the District website as it becomes available. Register on Eventbrite today to get the best pricing.
Revitalized Education Program Update
Research by Toastmasters International has identified the core competencies that are the foundation of Toastmasters learning:
Public speaking Interpersonal communication Leading and managing Leading strategically Confidence
These core competencies, and the many sub-competencies that support them, are the structure of the revitalized education program under development. The new program will provide members with:
Customized learning, based on the core competencies, that fits their personal goals. Earlier recognition to reward success and encourage continuing achievement. Projects that challenge members, require increased effort as they progress and result in
demonstrable proficiency gains. A formalized member-mentoring program. Online access and achievement tracking.
Developing and deploying this new program is an incredibly complex task. Here are a few of the questions that can be answered today:
The format of the club meeting will continue to have speakers and evaluations, Table Topics, a Toastmaster of the day, and of course the Ah Counter.
We anticipate the overlap period will be 24 months. To ensure that the education program is fully developed and structurally sound, we will
conduct beta testing with selected members and clubs. The timing of the beta testing will be announced in late 2014, with a program launch in 2015.
There is a significant amount of the new education program that is still under development, and Learning Masters and Ambassadors will continue to be a vital part of the process to ensure that members and clubs around the world are represented, and that we're able to carry messaging about the program to clubs in person.
Vision: Division A – Where We Practice What We Speak
Team Members: Area 11 Governor: James Burke, ACS, ALB
Area 12 Governor: Staci Nauman, CC, CL
Area 13 Governor: Richard Ludke, CC
Area 14 Governor: Tina Clinebell, ACB
Division A Chief Judge: Jeffrey Purtee, DTM
Club Visits: Area 11, 12, 13 completed all club visit reports. Area 14 reported all but one at last Division Council meeting.
Membership: Two clubs, Washoe Zephyrs in Area 14 and Lyon Speaks Tonight in Area 12, remain under eight members and need help. A club coach, DTM John Davis, has been assigned to Lyon Speaks Tonight. American Valley in Quincy CA and Area 11, has just eight members so are border line but according to Area Governor Jim Burke, very healthy otherwise. Most clubs in Division A continue to report double digit membership though many could use more members.
A new story telling club has been meeting Saturday’s at KNPB and hope to Charter by the spring of 2015. Area 12 Governor Staci Nauman is very active in supporting this new club and their efforts to get chartered.
Contests: All the Area contest dates, locations, and times have been determined and Division A clubs are being encouraged to schedule their club contests. Let the “madness” begin...in January.
The Division A Chief Judge Jeffrey Purtee, DTM presented the first of what will be several "Judges and Contestants Training" at the Club Officer training and TLI on December 6, 2014. It was well received. Four clubs have already scheduled their Spring contests and have been added to the Spring Madness Contest (Bracket) Schedule. We look forward to an exciting contest season in Division A.
DCP Stars: Unable to see the “stars” on new Toastmasters International website. Some training would be helpful as navigation has changed as well as look and feel.
Distinguished Areas:
See above
Challenges: Several Division A clubs are eligible for, and still need club coaches, sponsorship from stronger clubs, or a posse of experienced Toastmasters to try to get them back on track and viability. These include American Valley in Area 11, Lyon Speaks Tonight in Area 12, and Washoe Zephyrs in Area 14. Efforts to attract, sign up and retain members is a high priority for the majority of clubs in Division A.

Thanks to Russ Steele, PDG, the Area Governors, and the Division Chief Judge, all upcoming Division A sponsored club officer trainings, TLI’s, and Area contests have been scheduled.
