Distinguished Toastmaster Award
DTM Requirements
The Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) award represents the highest level of educational achievement in Toastmasters.
Members earn it by completing dozens of speech projects, serving leadership at the club and district level, supporting a new or struggling club, impacting the community with Toastmasters, and leading a major project to benefit an organization.
Learn more about the DTM award at Toastmasters.org, find more details and D31 specific resources in the Path to DTM slides, or watch the Path to DTM Panel discussion video below.
