Educational Awards History

    Want to see what awards were earned in a club
or by a member, in past years? You can use the
Educational Awards Archive to check all awards,
one year at a time, but that is rather slow and
time-consuming.

    Here’s a much quicker way to look up awards,
because it shows this year or all years with a single
click. Go to: www.marshalls.org/tmtools

    Let’s look at two of the many options, awards
by club, or by a member.

    To show a club’s current and past awards, click
on Educational Awards by Club Number. In the
next screen, enter the club number and click the
button. It will show all the clubs awards, back
as far as 2003, broken out by Toastmaster year.

    Tip: if you don’t know the club number, use
the Club Name Lookup tool to search by any part
of the club name, then select the Awards report.

    Showing a member’s current and past awards
is just as easy, by clicking on Education Awards
by Member.
