I knew going into my new role as Division Governor had at least one task that is a bigger challenge, and one that comes up very quickly for a person new in the role. I had an idea going into the role, and my predecessor also related his own experience. The challenge was finding a good location for the Club Officer Training - which is also called TLI, short for Toastmasters Leadership Institute.
I had some good ideas, and started researching locations even before I officially took on the title. However, as time went on, the options dwindled, until I was down to a first-level backup choice. I got the requirements together and sent it for approval. Unluckily, by the time I did get approval, my backup choice had some of the key space reserved by other groups.
So I went to my second-level backup - my work location. I thought it might be a bit of a long shot, but I hoped the fact that it was really an important make-or-break for my first significant act in my new role, and would thus reflect on the company as well, would help sway the decision. I do not know if it did sway the decision, but luckily the decision went my way. I had a site!
The Colorado Springs TLI - Toastmasters Leadership Institute, Club Officers Training will be held:
August 3rd, 2013 at 7:30am-1:00pm
T. Rowe Price
2220 Briargate Parkway, at Chapel Hills Drive
Building 1 (short garage)
Colorado Springs, CO 80920
1 mile east from Exit 151 off I-25
Please note - due to the location, anyone who wishes to attend will NEED to pre-register. I am working out the details to handle the registration.
There will also be educational sessions available for all members, and a great keynote speech. The agenda is being filled out currently and should be shared within the next week.
I personally will also be attending the Denver TLI, on 7/20/2013 in Lakewood
I know of at least one other person going who is looking to car-pool. If anyone else is going up from the Colorado Springs area - please let me know, and I will help coordinate.
