Spring 2012 Toastmasters Leadership Institute (TLI)

While it’s true that winter hasn’t even started yet, spring is just around the corner!

Whether your club elects officers annually and bi-annually, officers need training twice a year in order to provide outstanding support for their clubs and to help their clubs meet their Distinguished Club Program goals.

The Winter TLI will be Saturday, January 14, 2012, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm at The Well, on the Sunset Church of Christ campus, just east of the main building.

If you can’t attend Saturday, there will be a make-up TLI on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Orlando’s on Avenue Q.

We hope to see you all there!
