WHAT WILL YOU GAIN?
- New Ideas to bring back to your home club to keep the excitement strong.
- New Opportunities to participate as a speaker or other meeting functionary.
- New Friends! Why wait for an Area or Division contest to meet new people?
- New Experiences which will help you get the most out of Toastmasters!
- The designation of being an Official District 84 Club Ambassador and recognition at the next District Conference,
- A Club Ambassador certificate (suitable for framing) and a Club Ambassador pin for you to wear at your club meetings and future ambassador visits.
- The opportunity for one of this year's Club Ambassador of the Year Awards (details below).
- There is a new Club Ambassador Visit Form with more ways to earn ambassador points -- in addition to filling in a meeting role and listing 3 unique things about the club, Toastmasters can earn points bringing a friend, submitting a photo, making note of your favorite phrase/idea from the meeting; there is the opportunity to earn up to 10 ambassador points per visit.
- There is also no longer a requirement to report findings to home clubs before submitting a form to the Club Ambassador Chair for credit. After you complete the form, including the signatures from one of the visited club's officers and yourself, just turn it in.
- And this year, when you submit a completed CAP form and it has been received and process, you will receive a receipt via email with the information from the form about your visit, which you can then report to your club/VPE if desired.
- Find a club that you'd like to visit that fits your schedule -- the club does not have to be in your area, your division, or even District 84!
- Note: The only restriction for the visited club is that it cannot be one that you are a member of or are the area/division governor of; e.g. to become a club ambassador, an area governor would have to visit three clubs outside of his/her area to receive credit.
- Contact the club to verify meeting date/time/location, and ask to be put on the agenda if you would like to speak or can perform a meeting role.
- Print out the 2011-2012 Club Ambassador Form, Fill out the top portion (your name, email address, home club), and bring the form with you on your visit.
- At the meeting: observe, participate, take notes, then have the visited club's VPE (or other officer) sign the form.
- Submit your completed form to the Club Ambassador Chair.
- Note: credit will not be awarded for multiple visits to the same club.
- As soon as three (3) completed forms are received, you will be noted as a District 84 Club Ambassador!
- There are a couple additional recognitions that will be given to individual Toastmasters this year:
- Club Ambassador of the Year: Traveler's Awards -- given to the Club Ambassador who visits the most club* (first place & runner-up)
- Club Ambassador of the Year: Pointer's Awards -- given to the Club Ambassador who accumulates the most ambassador points* (first place & runner-up)
The Club Ambassador of the Year Awards will be presented to the winners at the 2012 District 84 Spring Conference.
Note (*): in addition to the restrictions above concerning club eligibility, only completed forms whose visit date is on or after May 22, 2011 ("start date") and received by the CAP Chair by April 17th, 2012 ("end date"), will count towards a Club Ambassadors's clubvisit and ambassador point totals.

I appreciate the opportunity to serve you and am look forward to your participation!
