Toastmasters District 83 Salutes the 38 Triple Crown Winners for 2010-2011

July 9, 2011 - PRLog -- It is quite a milestone for a Toastmaster to reach his or her next award level in either the educational or leadership tracks. Making that move from CC (Competent Communicator) to ACB (Advanced Communicator Bronze) provides a sense of accomplishment. Many Toastmasters take one to three years to get to the next level.

Some Toastmasters choose to move faster than the average pace. They earn two or more awards within a Toastmasters year (July through June).  

Many districts within Toastmasters recognize those individuals that earn three or more educational or leadership awards within one Toastmasters year. They are known as the Triple Crown Winners.  

"We are thrilled to celebrate the accomplishment of our District 83 Triple Crown Achievers," said District Governor, Lisa Pantano.  “No matter how long you have been a Toastmaster, you can still learn by working through the program.”
