Bridge Builders Toastmasters is President's Distinguished Once Again!
A Toastmasters Club quality is measured by its level of achievement of goals as set forth by Toastmasters International. For the sixth year in a row, in 2017-2018, 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 11 new members this past year. Several goals also relate to officers attending training and to administrative goals. In recognition of this President's Distinguished accomplishment, the club will receive a special ribbon from Toastmasters International for displaying on the club banner. |

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 selfconfidence 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.
