| * Table Topics Speaker must be completed
before delivering an Ice Breaker speech. ** An introductory mentor is a member who unofficially supports new members by answering questions and guiding them based on their own experiences. If a member hasn’t begun the Pathways Mentor Program, they can find it in the Suggested Learning section on the Base Camp home page once they’ve completed Level 2. *** Completing a specialized role allows you to fill a role that is specific to your club or a unique situation. For example, your club may have an Online Moderator role, or there may be a circumstance where someone is needed to manage visual aids for another member |

| Important Next Steps for Your Club As you prepare for these exciting enhancements, take the following steps to make sure your club is ready. Share this information with members. Let them know that changes are coming and they’ll soon have more opportunities to participate in your club. Let them know: 1. The enhancements will be added as the first item in each level. The section will detail all requirements for the level and provide a place for the member to track what has been completed. 2. These changes will be available in English in the six paths currently available for purchase: Dynamic Leadership, Engaging Humor, Motivational Strategies, Persuasive Influence, Presentation Mastery, and Visionary Communication. They will not be available in legacy paths or translated paths. 3. Members working in legacy paths and translated paths are still welcome to complete meeting roles and presentations from the Education Series. 4. Members working in languages available as part of the District Translations program can expect minor changes to their processes. Members working in these languages access available translated PDFs from the Resources page on Base Camp and use an English path to track progress. The English path used for tracking progress will have the new content added |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| However, this content will not be
translated until the District Translations team for that
language chooses to translate it. These members will need to
mark the new sections complete when tracking project completion
in their path. You are welcome to require them to complete
meeting roles before marking their level complete. However, the
Education Series are not currently available in any District
Translations language. Levels 3, 4, and 5 should be marked
complete for members using District Translations PDFs, even if
they have not completed the Education Series presentations. 5. Projects currently required in each level of any path will not be changed. These can be reviewed in the Paths and Core Competencies document on the Toastmasters website. (Download a Copy HERE). 6. These changes will not affect the progress any Toastmaster has already made. If a level has been completed, the member will have the new content, but their progress will be unaffected. |

| Familiarize yourself with the Education Series. If you aren’t familiar with The Successful Club Series, The Better Speaker Series, and The Leadership Excellence Series, now is a good time to review this content. Knowing what’s included and how much time is needed for presentations will help you answer questions and prepare to include these in meeting agendas. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prepare to start tracking new requirements. Keep in mind that when approving level completions, you’ll now have additional items to track. In addition to validating that the member completed all requirements for the projects in their level, you’ll also need to confirm that they completed the meeting roles and Education Series presentations listed in the chart above. Determine now how you’ll keep track of and validate these items and ensure all officers in your club know the plan. As mentioned, you can ask members to track meeting roles themselves using the Meeting Roles section on their profile | |||||||||||||||||||||||
