Ready to Do Your HPL Project?
Join the Club Fitness Program!
The Club Fitness Program steps in to help fortify
clubs with 13 to 20 members grow. As a Club Fitness Leader, you will work with the club to attract new members and develop activities focused on the growth of the current members.
How do you benefit? If you want to do an HPL (High Performance Leadership), but don’t have a project – then this is the one for you! You can put your great skills as a Toastmaster to work and help a club on building
and promoting their club by becoming a Club Fitness Leader.
If your club
needs a little extra help to grow, contact LGM Atul Nayak and he’ll get you connected with a Club Fitness Leader. It’s a win/win for everyone!

Club Ambassador Program
It's easy to get started in the Club Ambassador Program. Become a guest, a
representative and a future leader, simply by stepping outside your club
and visiting another club.
Benefits to Toastmasters who participate in the Club Ambassador Program include:
• Bringing new ideas to your club
• Completing Communication and Leadership Educationals
• Earning District Recognition
• Add vitality to club meetings
• Meet new friends
To participate, simply attend a meeting outside your club, complete the Club
Ambassador Visit form (download and email or fill out
online),
making note of three unique observations during the visit,
and that's it! There is no restriction on how far you can go to visit
clubs - District 4 Ambassadors have visited clubs across the U.S. and even Asia!
Please see the Club Ambassador page for more
information, to find out what ambassadors are learning and sharing, and to
see a list of current and past ambassadors. Please check back often!
