Recognition of Distinguished Areas, Select Distinguished Areas, and President’s Distinguished Areas

Recognition for Distinguished Area, Select Distinguished Area, or President’s Distinguished Area is provided by Toastmasters International through the District.

The Area Performance Plan is a simple, easy-to-use tool which helps your Area become a “Distinguished Area”, “Select Distinguished Area,” or “President’s Distinguished Area.” It helps Area leaders establish goals and outline strategies for goal achievement. The Plan identifies resources your Area may use in its efforts. Finally, it has space for you to write in assign-ments, develop a timetable, and track accomplishment.

Planning is the hallmark of a successful leader. A well-developed Area Performance plan puts your vision of success into action. It let Area team members understand what they need to do to accomplish Area goals.
