4 PATHWAYS
Districts Pull Together
on Pathways Event
Districts around the world are working hard to help their
members achieve success in the Pathways learning experience.
For example, eight Districts in Region 7 (eastern United
States) recently banded together to present a day of informative
Pathways-related webinars. The Zoom event drew more than
700 attendees. The 10-hour marathon event in May featured five
consecutive webinars—presented as courses taught by members
with substantial Pathways experience. The courses included
“Basic” (Pathways terminology and Base Camp); “Intermediate”
(program concepts and features); and “Advanced” (Pathways
mentoring program and how to earn a DTM). The other courses
were “Pathways for Base Camp Managers” and “Dispelling Myths
About Pathways.” Each webinar included a Q&A session.
The region-wide Pathways training was the brainchild of Iris
Taylor, DTM, District 27’s Program Quality Director at the time.
Jeanna Lee, District 27’s Public Relations Manager, says the
daylong event produced a positive “ripple effect.”
“Region 7 will now have more informed and effective Toastmasters
who will be able to navigate Pathways much more
proficiently, and in turn, those members can then share their
knowledge and train additional members within their clubs,”
says Lee.
