2023-2024 Incentives
The District 35 Awards & Incentive Program rewards your club for delivering a quality club experience. See below for a list of Awards and Incentives currently available. If you have any questions regarding a particular incentive, the responsible Trio member is listed in parentheses after the incentive, i.e. “(CGD)”, “(PQD)”, etc.
District Dollars continue this year! District Dollars are earned by meeting some of the incentives. These dollars are received via reimbursement when you make an approved club-related purchase. District Dollars earned last year have rolled over to this year. View your club’s District Dollars account balance here. See the District Dollars Q&A here.
Our new incentive program gives you even more ways to have fun, while making your club better and earning rewards! While there will be one big year end prize to be awarded after July 1 for the Top Club with the most points ($100 District Dollars), we’ll also have a monthly (nonrepeat) top club in each division ($20 District Dollars) plus cumulative top clubs in the Division awarded after July 1 ($50 District Dollars) — but that isn’t all! There are individual winners too! Download the list of awards above!

All About The Base (CGD)
This year Toastmasters has lowered the standard for “distinguished” to a net growth of 3 new members. Stretch a bit more and grow 5 members above your club’s base, and receive a banner ribbon.
Deepening The Pool
It’s critically important that our district is continuously recruiting not just additional club members, but members who are completely new to Toastmasters. If your club brings in 4 or more members that aren’t previous Toastmasters, your club will receive a banner ribbon.
7 Club Officers Trained (PQD)
- Summer TLI – all seven club officers trained; Clubs receive a special ribbon which they can proudly display on their club banner.
- Winter TLI – all seven club officers trained; Clubs receive a special ribbon which they can proudly display on their club banner.
- Seven club officers trained at BOTH Summer and Winter TLI sessions, get both ribbons plus $25 District Dollars
