  Welcome to Division E Shout-Out! We believe that the E stands for Excellence! Here are
 some examples:
  1: PEAK PERFORMANCE (an Advanced Club) is offering a Contestant Coaching Night on
 Jan 28th at 7PM (https://tinyurl.com/y5gkngf5 ) Enhance your International Speech and
 exaggerate your Tall Tales speech – Enthrall your audience and accept your trophy as
 evidence of your excellence in entertaining! Jan 28th by PEAK PERFORMANCE!
  2: We have made a proposal to the TRIO for a program of working with the Chamber of
 Commerce. We believe this has 2 key features to make this a success. A) The leader of this
 program has a long-time Chamber member with Chamber experience. B) His progress will be
 monitored by the District leadership through scheduled reviews to gather empirical evidence of
 what works and what does not.

 D26 DEC Meeting Minutes | Phone: +1 720-494-1106 | Page 2 of 21 | www.d26toastmasters.org

 3: Working with Corporate Clubs – We have one company club that did a presentation to 40
 managers about how Toastmasters can help their customer-facing employees. We will hit the
 managers again to enroll their employees.
  4: We ARE NOT ACCEPTING ZOOM BURNOUT AS A REALITY! We are working to take
 advantage of what Zoom offers beyond what in-person meetings offer. A specific example of
 what we are doing is adding a Zoom master to our schedule. Extinguish that encroached
 erroneous idea that electronic meetings are ephemeral and will exit our corporate and personal
 environment! They are here to stay, and we need to adjust to them!
 Not Zoom burnout – but Zoom Opportunities!
  5: We are experimenting with offering a communication workshop that goes beyond
 Speechcraft! We are targeting the offering to an identified segment of like-minded people. We
 are charging the participants so that they have more incentive to eagerly participate.
  6: We are focusing on leadership in our clubs – DCP or Survival and we’re questioning – are
 they really mutually exclusive? We think not!
  7: We have 26 Clubs in good standing, 24 clubs have met at least 1 goal on the DCP.
 Seven have already met 5 or more goals. Clubs are engaging the Toastmasters
 Program!
  Division E is where it’s at! We’re here to raise the bar! Keep up if you can! E is for Excellence!

12. District Director comments on Succession Planning, [Report starts at 0:32:44 on Recording]
  If you are a Division Director, you should already be talking to people on your team – Area
 Directors, etc or emerging leaders at the Club level. We want to identify our emerging leaders.

 This is to ensure that these expenses are accounted for in the 2020 calendar year.
 I will work with the District Director to fill this out. We may just need to sign the
 blank template because we don't believe that we have expenses that fit this
 category.
 o The Inventory Template contains a list of all materials that the District has
 purchased from World Headquarters, with the intent to resell to the membership.
 This only applies to Districts with a District Store. Since District 26 does not have a
 District Store, there's nothing to do here. So, the District Director and I will sign the

 Phil,

 Thanks for stepping in as Area Director! I know what an important role it is, having served in the
 same capacity in a previous year.

 I have moved on from Home Advisor as well as the HAvocado Toast club. I hope they are able to
 continue the club in some form, but I think COVID-19 has made it difficult for them to maintain the
 club, as I’m sure it has impacted so many other Toastmasters clubs. Hopefully you can encourage
 them to keep the club going, or failing that, restart it once things have returned to some semblance
 of normal.

 Good luck!
 David Hay

 Speechcrafts in 2020 with only 1 person joining. Starting a new Speechcraft with new format and
 advertising.
 E3: High Nooners (company club - closed) has done a lot of promotion to company managers to
 recommend TM to employees but has seen no results.
 E3: Greeley Noon TM - Only 4 members show up for each meeting (same 4 at all meetings).

 o DCP and Other Activities Accomplished:
  As of January 4, SouthGlenn Speakers is now a club in good standing.
  The only club with semiannual officer elections, Littleton Toastmasters, submitted
 its January officer list on Dec. 16.
  Clubs were encouraged to hold their speech contests in January and send
 contestants to the area contest.
  Since January 1, I have met weekly with M1 and M5 Area Directors to plan the
 February 13 Metro Area speech contests. Four clubs in M2 are currently eligible
 to compete. Each club may send two contestants to each contest. If they do,
 that's eight contestants in each contest.
 o Club Visits and Reports
  No reports submitted yet. TLIs and contests take precedence over the second
 round of club visit reports. Scheduling area contests in February instead of March
 places contests before club visit reports on my timeline.
 o Future Activities
  Recruit more functionaries for Metro area contests.
  Continue encouraging clubs to attend club officer training.
  Participate in the TLIs by leading a panel discussion breakout session for the
 Urban/Southern TLI, and conducting secretary training for the
 Denver/Northern/Western TLI.

 participate.

M-4 Ron Pierre
 Here is a quick report of all my clubs and as accurate as I can be.
 Toastmasters Clubs:
 1. 5280 Toastmasters is doing well and had been in contact with club President Andrew.
 This club is planning on participating in the M4 Area Speech Contest. I have not been able
 to attend their club meetings since December but had emails communications.
 2. Wry Toast Toastmasters is doing better than previously stated. I am planning on
 attending their Jan. 25 meeting as well as their Open House on Feb. 1st. I am also in
 contact via emails with Ann, the club President. Wry Toast is also planning to participate in
 the M4 Area Speech Contest.
 3. DTC Speakeasies Toastmasters is doing well. I have been in contact with Geol, the club
 President via emails. I have not visited this club since November but plan on visiting at their
 next meeting this month. This club is planning on participating in the M4 Area Speech
 Contest.
 4. Toast Of Inverness Toastmasters is doing well. I have been in contact with Debbie, the
 club President via emails. I have not visited this club since December but I plan on visiting
 this club their next meeting. This club is also planning on participating in the M4 Area
 Speech Contest.
 5. Spirited Speakers Toastmasters has not made any effort whatsoever to respond to my
 emails. I was in contact with Steve, the club President at some point in time. Steve told me
 that their members were not at all interested in meeting virtually during Covid and therefore
 may cease to meet until Covid has subsided.
 I do not believe they are meeting at all since Covid. They have not been responsive despite
 my continuous effort to communicate with them. I have had no updates on this club. It
 suffices to say this club will not be participating in our M4 Area Speech Contest.
 6. Ulteig Multiregional Toastmasters has not made any effort whatsoever to respond to
 my emails. Ian, the club President, was in contact with me at some point but has not made
 contact with me for quite some time now. I was even scheduled to attend one of their
 meetings and it was abruptly cancelled with no viable reasons given.
 I don't even know if they are meeting or not in any capacity be it virtual or otherwise.
 This specific club, I have had for 2 years and have never been successful in attending their
 meeting and it is definitely not due to a lack of efforts on my part. I have known nothing but
 frustrations with this club. This specific club may very well be the reason I will not seek a 3rd
 term as an Area Director for 2021-2022.
  M-5 Area Director Sarika Syamala
 o Castle Rock Toastmasters; Membership 6, hasn't been open to having a coach. I will
 talk to them again after the contest.
 o Parker: Membership 13, They will not be able to retain their Distinguished status this
 year. I am sad to see they are not even participating in the Speech Contest.
 o Highlands Ranch Toastmasters: Membership 11, This is the club that I most proud of.
 They almost got shut down before covid, due to conflicting internal politics, but the
 efforts of the 20-21 club officers have made this growth possible. I wish I had a way to
 recognize these officers, especially the president and VPE/VPM. A meticulous duo.
 Please let me know if you have any thoughts on how to recognize them.
 o Ranch Raconteurs Club: Membership 23, Trotting along.
 o Denver Techmasters: Membership 14, It is a corporate club. Like most corporate clubs
 they do not attend TLI or Speech Contests. I have been prodding them to at least attend
 the TLI.
Completed since last meeting 12/5/20

Issues since last meeting
 Need ADs to continue their great work and Second Round Club Visit Reporting.
Priorities until next meeting
 TLI, COT and Club Contests (of course)

 understand the coaches and new clubs are none of my business but I feel that sharing that information
 with the Division Director would make for better team work and collaboration.
