One of the requirements for earning an Advanced Leader – Silver award is to have served successfully as a club mentor, sponsor or coach. These three roles are official assignments. They are made by the District Director, in consultation with the Club Growth Director, and reported to Toastmasters International, so that the member can get credit towards an ALS.
A New Club Mentor meets regularly with the club for 6-12 months, helping the members build the skills they need to guide the club.
A New Club Sponsor helps a club get chartered by identifying a potential club, finding a location, recruiting members, collecting fees and doing the charter paperwork.
A new club may have up to 2 sponsors and 2 mentors.
