Distinguished Toastmasters in District 22
DTM (Distinguished Toastmaster) is the highest award that can be earned in Toastmasters.
To reach this level, the member will have given a minimum of 47 speeches, served at least
18 months as a club officer and district officer, mentored a new member, either helped a club
get started or rebuild its membership, and, completed a leadership program. More than likely,
the member has also helped members, clubs and the district in numerous other ways too.
At any given time, about two percent of all members in Toastmasters have their DTM. A member
who earns a DTM is usually someone who is quite dedicated to the mission of Toastmasters and
its goals. Thus, they often are attendees or helpers of at district events such as conferences
and club officer training.
Despite all that one does, and accomplishes, to earn a DTM, having a DTM does not actually mean that
the member has achieved any certain level of competency at giving presentations or being a
leader. Having a DTM only means that the member completed the above-mentioned tasks. On the
other hand, a person who has made the effort to earn a DTM will often be someone who
is a driven goal-oriented person. These people usually care about being competent and will continue to make
the effort to improve.
What does one do in Toastmasters once she or he has earned a DTM? Answer: start working on the
next DTM. A person can earn multiple DTM's. Additionally, when a person is halfway through the third
DTM, she or he has completed all fifteen of the advanced manuals. At that point, the person has
earned the privilege of repeating any of the advanced manuals.
The below is a list of those who have earned at least one DTM and the District 22 clubs they are, or have been, a member.
