Gold Star Two Years in a Row!

Congratulations to the Minnesota Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (MNRPCV) Toastmasters Club http://mnrpcv.toastmastersclubs.org/ for earning a Gold Star two years in a row!

 

MAKE YOUR WEBSITE GREAT!

There should be a working “Visit This Website” link from the Toastmasters International “Find a Club” web page.   The link was missing or broken for some clubs checked.

Use the current Toastmasters International logo.  Although almost all websites included the current logo, some had photos of flags with the old logo.

Your website should be inviting, accurate, and current.  Check the following information to make sure potential members can find your club.

  1. Welcome message or invitation to attend on Home Page
  2. Contact Us Page or (Phone and/or Email Address)
  3. Meeting information / directions (location, directions, date, time)
  4. Recent photos of club meetings, events, or club members
  5. At least 3 member bios or testimonials, which state benefits of belonging to Toastmasters
  6. Current club officers listed on the website
  7. Link to a Social Media (e.g., Facebook, MeetUp, Twitter, YouTube, or Corporate intranet site)
  8. Educational information
  9. Supporting content pages that are not simple links to others content (e.g. About our meeting, President’s welcome message, FAQs, a sample Meeting Agenda, Newsletters, etc.)
  10. Links to both the District and Toastmasters International Website
