Advanced Communicator Gold (ACG)

To earn the ACG award, you must first achieve your ACS award.  Then, you must:

  • complete five projects in each of two Advanced Speaking Manuals* for a total of ten more speeches.
  • conduct a Success/Leadership, Success/Communication, or Youth Leadership program.
  • coach/mentor a new member through their first three speech projects.

* It's important to note that a Toastmaster may not repeat any of the advanced manuals for award credit until they have completed all 15 of the available manuals.  In other words, you need to choose two different advanced manuals for your ACG than you used for your ACB and ACS.

The ACG award marks the end of the Communication track.  From here, your next milestone is the Distinguished Toastmaster award.
