As the requirements and criteria for achieving Toastmaster Awards expands, it is important that clubs maintain accurate records of their members achievements, register their awards on time, and track the club progress towards the Distinguished Club Program (DCP).
This page has information and links to Toastmaster Club Management Spreadsheets developed in New Zealand.
Club Management Spreadsheets ensure that:
- the club achieves points on the Distinguished Club Program
- the members achieve their goals and receive recognition with Communication and Leadership Awards
A New Zealand Toastmaster, Alan Northcote DTM, (Achieve Toastmasters Club 616904) has developed a set of Club Management Spreadsheets to help clubs record their member achievements, and track DCP progress.
These spreadsheets are:
- simple to set up
- easy to maintain
- defined by personal and club objectives
- continue from year to year
- provide a permanent record of member progress and awards
- form a permanent record of club achievements
These resources consist of a series of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and Word documents which provide a record of:
- Educational Awards
- Leadership Awards
- Register of Members
- Register of Club Officers and Training
- Register of Mentoring
- Distinguished Club Program Goals
- Other Club Goals
The charts are ready to be set up for the current Toastmasters Year. Extensive instructions are provided in Microsoft Word format, and the charts automatically calculate and total to the summaries.
Setting up involves typing the club details in the headers, members names, and current status. This task should take about an hour. The files should then be updated regularly, and at least monthly, from the "as delivered" records of meetings (agenda or programme).
The spreadsheets have been extensively trialled by the Achieve Club in Tauranga, checked by experts in Excel, and are now made available to all Toastmasters Clubs in New Zealand, and anywhere in the world.
- Charts 1-7 are "living" goal sheets for individual Toastmasters.
- Charts 8-11 are linking and management tools.
- Charts 12-14 are for Distinguished Club Program tracking.
Note: The first file to look at and print is the larger "W" Word file. This includes a guide as to correct use of the Excel Charts. For example: Open a Clubname and Year folder. Then rename each Chart by the recommended steps, so that they may be worked on for your Club's use or for you personally.

It is recommended that a Club Recorder be appointed to prepare and maintain the charts, and report back to the club via the VP Education of the status of the club and members for the current year.
