Training events are held in two 3-month periods each year: December through February (Winter) and June through August (Summer). Major training events (TLIs) are normally held in December and June. Subsequent smaller Officer Training events will be held in January and February as well as July and August. Events will be held in various cities in the District. All of these events are FREE and open to all Toastmasters. Club officers are strongly encouraged to attend specific training for the office they hold twice a year in order to achieve goals toward Advanced Leader Bronze and the Distinguished Club Program.
District Officer training events are also held. Incoming officers are typically trained at a special event in June. Ongoing training is provided in conjunction with DEC meetings. The District Trio (District Governor, Lieutenant Governor Education & Training, Lieutenant Governor Marketing) as well as other selected District Oficers are trained at the International Convention in August as well as other times during the year.
