These and more will be covered in three participative hours. At the end of the training, you will receive a completion certificate for your attendance and participation, and you will be qualified to be one of the trainers for District 101 Club Officer Training.
Don’t passively sit on the sidelines, become one of the influential leaders in District 101 by sharing your officer knowledge with other Toastmasters. Seneca, the philosopher and author, shared, “Men learn as they teach.”
Learn how to teach, and then learn as you teach.
