September Countdown: Your Club’s Success Starts Now
September is the most important month of the Toastmasters year. With only few days left, every club in District 60 is called to take decisive action to stay in good standing, earn early‑year incentives, and set the foundation for a high‑performance year.
September Action Checklist (Deadline September 30)
- Submit CSP by September 30
- Renew at least 8 members before September 30
- Add 5 new members for the Smedley Award by September 30
- BONUS: Submit CSP between Sept 6–20 for Tier 2 Incentives
Deadline: September 30 — Club Success Plan (CSP)
Your Club Success Plan isn’t just a Toastmasters requirement — it’s real‑world leadership training. Building your CSP teaches you how to set goals, plan projects, collaborate as a team, and track progress — the same skills used in workplaces and community leadership.
A strong CSP helps you:
- Set clear goals
- Plan and manage projects
- Align your team
- Lead with accountability
Submit your CSP in Club Central by September 30.
BONUS: Clubs that submit their Club Success Plan between September 6 and September 20 will receive Tier 2 incentives.
Clubs that submit their Club Success Plan between September 6 and September 20 will earn Tier 2 incentives, recognizing early planning, strong teamwork, and proactive leadership. It’s a chance to set your club ahead while building real‑world strategic and project‑management skills.
Renew Membership for All Club Members
The renewal window is open. Clubs must renew a minimum of eight members — including three continuing members — to remain in good standing and earn DCP credit.
Early renewals help your club:
- Maintain uninterrupted access for members
- Protect your club’s status
- Strengthen your foundation for the year ahead
Complete renewals through My Home or coordinate with your Treasurer.
While renewing, it might be a great idea to ask your members to set personal goals for the year ahead.

Grow your club and earn Toastmasters International’s prestigious Smedley Award by adding five new, dual, or reinstated members between August 1 and September 30. You will receive a ribbon directly from Toastmasters International and and a Discount Coupon for 10%

Here are the latest Pathways Enhancements:
The Pathways enhancements which include the addition of meeting roles at every level, and educational presentations for the completion of levels 3 to 5 have arrived!
These changes are new requirements for the following six paths currently available for purchase: Dynamic Leadership, Engaging Humor, Motivational Strategies, Persuasive Influence, Presentation Mastery and Visionary Communication.
For any of the legacy paths, meeting roles and educational presentations will not be a requirement for completion, but all members are welcome to add them. After all, taking on meetings roles and presenting educational sessions is a wonderful way to practice and enhance our communication and leadership skills while providing a vibrant meeting for our members and guests!
To find out more, please check out this guide, and the pictorial below created by District 56. It is a wee small so feel free to email the District webmaster at “webmaster@toastmasters60.com” for a copy.
Oh, wondering where you can find the educational presentations? Click on Vibrant Meetings! under Club Support above and scroll to the end. All the links are there.
