Have you noticed the Pathway Education Series in October 2025?

Members are required to complete specific meeting roles in each level of their path. At Levels 3, 4, and 5, members will also be required to give presentations from the Toastmasters Education Series. These changes will help support excellence in your club while providing all members with opportunities to build new skills through hands-on practice.

How to Submit Club Success Plan
For a club to be eligible for in the Distinguished Club Program (DCP), it must submit a Club Success Plan (CSP) online by 30 September (yeah, five days away)
At current 26% of clubs in District 69 have not submitted their CSP.
It can be edited throughout the year and is non-binding. So it's a good idea to think of it as a draft that ticks the box and can be updated/refined later. At least, if your club has a successful year, then you'll be recognised for your efforts by achieving a Distinguished status 🏆
Drop a comment if you need a hand getting it done - there is plenty of help available to those who ask or see your Area Director. 👌

Here is a video of how to find if your club has submitted the CSP, how to do it, and you might even be surprised how quick and easy it can be!

“I learned to always take on things I’d never done before. Growth and comfort do not coexist.”
Ginni Rometty, Former CEO of IBM
In Toastmasters, reaching Level 5 isn’t a finish line.
It’s the mark of a leader who has stretched, spoken, listened, led projects, mentored others and done it all outside their comfort zone.
Each Pathway completed means over a dozen advanced leadership and communication projects, including a capstone that impacts others, not just the self.
Visionary Communication teaches how to communicate change, rally people behind a mission, and lead with clarity.
Strategic Relationships develops influence, empathy, and the emotional intelligence needed to lead across cultures and contexts.
And Ellenor completing both didn’t just raise the bar.
She rewrote what commitment looks like in Pasifika Division.
Toastmasters proves that over time, feedback, and practice, confidence becomes competence and voice becomes presence.
🎓 Ellenor Iutiko
NCD Toastmasters Club, Immediate Past President & Current Area 45 Director
• Visionary Communication Level 5
• Strategic Relationships Level 5
🎓 Gertrude Rollart
Komuniti Toastmasters Club
• Strategic Relationships Level 5

To Ellenor and Gertrude:
Your journey is not just an achievement. It’s a blueprint.
You’ve shown what it means to:
Speak Smart.
Lead Bold.
Shape Tomorrow.
And you’ve done it with grace, quiet strength, and a voice the world needs to hear.

Some people walk into a room and instantly have your attention.
They don’t shout. They don’t rush.
They speak with calm, clarity, and quiet confidence.
That’s executive presence.
And it’s not something you’re born with...it’s something you build.
I came across an article in Toastmasters Magazine that really made it clear:
Executive presence is how people experience your leadership.
Not through your title...but through how you carry yourself,
how you speak under pressure,
and how you make others feel when you speak.
At Toastmasters Pasifika Division, we help you develop these skills:
Not in theory...but through practice.
Structured, real, and designed for growth.
You’ll learn to
speak with intention,
lead with clarity,
and build confidence that lasts beyond the meeting room.
Speak Smart.
Lead Bold.
Shape Tomorrow.
In the coming weeks, we’ll share how to visit clubs across PNG and Fiji.
If you’re working on your voice, your confidence, or your leadership...you’re welcome to join us.
Because the way you speak… is how people remember you.
And the presence you carry… is how they decide to follow.
