Distinguished Club Goals

Administered by Toastmasters International (TI), the Distinguished Club Program (DCP) has a strong focus on educational achievement and club membership. The Distinguished Club Program is an annual program covering an entire Toastmasters year, from July 1 through June 30. At the end of this period, clubs will receive recognition for their efforts based upon the number of DCP goals reached during the year. [Toastmaster International Official Document]
