Give any instructional Parliamentary Procedure presentation for Pathways Credit and Be Recognized!

Have you heard of Parliamentary Procedure?  Or, how about Robert’s Rules of Order?  Robert’s Rules of Order is one of the most prolific parliamentary procedure systems for non-governmental organizations, including by Toastmasters International.  In my view, perhaps it’s main purpose and biggest benefits is that it “allows every voice to be heard.”  It is a tremendous system that facilitates decisions to be made by majority, but the minority is always heard.  This is true at the club level, as well as all Disrict and International levels.

If you give any educational presentation about Parliamentary Procedure, you are eligible to be included for recognition at the coming Program Quality Director web page.  Two suggestions to get started might be the Level 3 elective, Researching and Presenting (just 5-7 min. speech), or a longer learning series such as the module sold by TI called, “Parliamentary Procedure in Action.”

We need more that understand this benificent syatem in our District, and beyond – please join us!

(Please notify Dave Bones, DTM, PQD to be included on the web page.)

Complete any Pathways project that includes two or more members and be recognized!

The theme for our Winter TLI 2023 was, “Building Leaders, and Growing Members.”  Leading is a social activity – we can not lead without at least one other person!

We are offering this incentive to help members interested in getting started with leading.  If you cmplete a Pathways project where you worked with another member to plan a meeting, that would qualify as long as it is within the Pathways project objectives.

You would be included for recognition within the coming Program Quality Director web page within the leadership section.

We look forward to “making the dream work, with your team work!”

(Please notify Dave Bones, DTM, PQD to be included in the listing.)
