President's Distinguished 9 years in a row!
Toastmasters Club quality is measured by its level of achievement of goals as set forth by Toastmasters International. For the ninth year in a row, in 2020-2021, under Christina Kapinus' leadership as President, Bridge Builders Toastmasters reached the highest level of President's Distinguished status by attaining 9 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.

| Toastmasters Club Mission |
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.
