his eyes closed and a visionary has his eyes
open”

Pathways Enhancements by Level
Below is a comprehensive list of the new requirements being added to Pathways this October as explained throughout this
document. To complete each level, members must complete all the tasks below as well as their required projects in each
level. Two levels have an option for mentorship as a role. If a member hasn’t begun the Pathways Mentor Program, it can be
found in the Suggested Learning section of their Base Camp home page once they’ve completed Level 2. |
|
|
| |
 |
|
Beginning in Levels 3, 4, and 5, members will be required to deliver one presentation from
The Successful Club Series. Each level will include a curated selection of topics to choose from, allowing
flexibility based on club needs and member interests.
|
 |
| |
 |
| |
| In Level 4, members will be introduced to The Better Speaker Series. One presentation from this series will
be required, and Toastmasters will be free to deliver any of the 10 titles. Topics in this series include beginning and
concluding speeches, impromptu speaking, and how to select a speech topic. The information in these presentations will
support members in growing their speech writing and delivery skills. |
|
| |
 |
| |
| |
* 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. |
