Club Officer Training Feb 2008

Training for Club Officers is an important part of Toastmaster operations. There are two training sessions each year, the first at the beginning of the year and the second half way through.

This training is being organised for WA by one of our own members, Mark Richards, the Western Division Governor. He has set up two alternative opportunities for our Officers.
