Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM)

The Distinguished Toastmaster Award is the highest educational honor our organization bestows.  It recognizes both communication and leadership skills.  To earn this award, you must:

When you earn your DTM, you receive a gorgeous plaque of recognition from Toastmasters International.  You are also a guest of honor at the Hall of Fame Luncheon at the next District 50 Conference, and you'll receive your beautiful blue ribbon and gold medallion at that event.

And DTM isn't the end ... it's just another beginning!  Many DTMs start back at the beginning of the educational tracks, recognizing their skills can only improve as they earn a second set of the communication and leadership awards.
