New Member Handbook 2025

This handbook is the ultimate guide to navigating your first few months of Toastmasters membership. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to get started – meeting etiquette, essential roles, and how to access Pathways.

To set new members up for success, we highly recommend emailing this handbook as part of your club’s onboarding process.

Digital Marketing Workshops

Digital marketing is vital to the success of a club. Peter Simmonds, Public Relations Manager for District 72, organised a series of workshops to help members improve their marketing skills.

Check out the recording of the most recent workshop – Making Club Podcasts and Round Up

Canva for Non-Profits

Interested in using Canva to promote your club? UPDATE – We have now reached our limit of clubs that are able to apply for a ‘free teams account.’ But you can still set up a free Canva account and utilize the Canva club templates. These are available below. If you need any assistance with creating something more specific, please get in contact with either the PRM or Club Growth Director for assistance. 

Club Officer Shared Resources

We have recently put together a collection of resources created by Club Officers within District 72. Do you have a resource or template that you are willing to share? Please email us at d72@toastmasters.org.nz
