President's Distinguished 8 years in a row!
Toastmasters Club quality is measured by its level of achievement of goals as set forth by Toastmasters International. For the eighth year in a row, in 2019-2020, under Dick Poirier's leadership as President, Bridge Builders Toastmasters reached the highest level of President's Distinguished status by attaining 10 of the prescribed 10 goals. The goals relate to individual member achievement in communication and leadership as well as the number of new members joining the club. Bridge Builders gained 8 new members this past year. Several goals also relate to officers attending training and to administrative goals. |

The Toastmasters Mission
A statement of shared values
Every Toastmasters club shares the same mission, clearly defined in the following mission statement:
We provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.
Through this mission, each Toastmaster gains a clear understanding of the club's purpose, and the organization as a whole benefits from a shared set of values and goals.
