You are invited to the Winter 2015 Toastmasters Leadership Institute (TLI) on Saturday, February 7th at the Ramada Plaza Minneapolis.

The TLI provides a free training curriculum that is required for all Toastmasters Club Officers. Not an officer?  Not a problem!  Any member with an interest in leadership can attend these sessions for free as well!

One of the major reasons for having the TLI is to ensure that club officers receive the training that they need to successfully run their clubs.

Join us for training by the District Trio, an inspiring key note message, educational sessions and more.

Whether you are a new member, first-time officer or a veteran, TLI has something for you.

More reasons to attend TLI:

• Receive valuable information for success as a Club Officer.
• Earn credit towards your Club’s Distinguished Club Plan, Goal #9.
• Earn special recognition if all seven officers attend training.
• Learn tips, tricks, and best practices; share what you have learned with your clubs.
• Network with new and experienced Toastmasters.
• Become educated, engaged, and empowered!
