Toastmasters measure success in various ways. Individuals grow in ways beyond measurement, but our Clubs, Areas, Divisions, and District 8 have numerical goals that relate to the development of our members. There are educational and leadership achievements numbers recorded at Toastmasters International (T.I.) World Headquarters. The link "Communication & Leadership" gives complete information about those achievements from our site.

In addition to completing the necessary tasks for each accomplishment, there is one task that is sometimes overlooked. Someone must submit the forms necessary to obtain the individual's recognition of the Toastmaster accomplishment. Some clubs are very efficient about this, others leave it to the individual. But the cliche still works: "the job is not done until the paperwork is completed and mailed."
