Distinguished Club Program of Toastmasters

Distinguished Club Goals

Administered by Toastmasters International (TI), the Distinguished Club Program (DCP) has a strong focus on educational achievement and club membership. The Distinguished Club Program is an annual program covering an entire Toastmasters year, from July 1 to June 30. At the end of this period, clubs will receive recognition for their efforts based upon the number of DCP goals reached during the year.

DCP Goals

The Distinguished Club Program is an extremely simple program: The more goals your club reaches, the higher the recognition for your club. There are ten possible goals that your club can achieve:

	Goal	Completed
1	Achieve two CTMs
2	Achieve two additional CTMs
3	Achieve one ATM-B, ATM-S, or ATM-G
4	Achieve one additional ATM-B, ATM-S, or ATM-G
5	Achieve one CL, AL, or DTM
6	Achieve one additional CL, AL, or DTM
7	Add four new members
8	Add four additional new members
9	Have a minimum of four officers trained during each Club Officer Training period
10	Submit one Semi-Annual Report and one Club Officer List to TI before the deadline

Membership Requirement

To be eligible for recognition under the Distinguished Club Program, a club must end the Toastmasters year (July 1 through June 30) with 20 or more members OR with a net increase of at least 5 members over the number of members it had at the beginning of the year.
