The Journey Day 62

It has been a long time since I last wrote about my journey as the Frontier Division Governor for District 6 Toastmasters. We have been in the throes of officer training and is has been a hectic month of August. August 31st spells the end of officer training and it is time to evaluate how the Frontier Division did in getting their officers trained.

I want to first commend my Area Governors for a job well done on training officers. They did a great job and they also encouraged and club officers to attend. Our goal in the Frontier Division was to be 7 for 7 for every club in the Division. I know what you are saying, "That is a tall and almost impossible task". It may seeem daunting but we thought we could do it. If we couldn't reach taht goal maybe we could get all the clubs to have at least four trained so they wouldn't lose their DCP point.

How did we do? These numbers may change as some final day numbers and adjustments may be made. As it stands now the Frontier Division did quite well. We have 30 clubs in the Frontier Division. Of these 30 clubs 20 of them were 7 of 7 officers trained that is 66%, awesome job! Of the 30 clubs 28 of them had 4 or more officerss trained only two failed to get the required number of 4 officers trained, this is 93% of the clubs had four or more officers trained, great job! We had 210 officers that needed training 184 of them received training that is 88% of the officers trained in the Frontier Division.

As you can see it was successful in our efforts to train the officers however there is room for improvement. For the second round of officer training we will be shooting for 100% across the board in the Frontier Division. The next round is from December - February.

As we enter into September we are gearing up for contest time. Humorous and Table topics are the contests this fall. Look for more on that later.

Congratulations Area Governors on a job well done with officer training.
