DTM Project Checklist — 8.5x11 Poster

The Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) project is the final requirement in the Pathways learning experience. This checklist is designed to help you track each major milestone — from defining scope and leading a team, to delivering both required speeches and completing the final reflection. Use it as a planning aid, progress tracker, and conversation tool with your mentor or Vice President Education.
