Distinguished Club Program (DCP)
 
Simply stated, each club has 10 goals it tries to meet each year: six are related to education, two are related to membership, one is related to training and one relates to administration. This remains the same under Pathways. However, the names of the six educational goals have new names under Pathways. These goals are collectively known as the Distinguished Club Program (DCP).
 
During the transition period from the current education system to the new Pathways learning system, the DCP will transition through three stages: Stage 1 (current system will last until at least early 2020), Stage 2 (a hybrid system), and Stage 3 (Pathways).
 
The current Distinguished Club Program (DCP) includes 10 goals that your club should strive to achieve each year.
 
 STAGE ONE (Current Program)
 
The Distinguished Club Program (DCP) includes 10 goals that your club should strive to achieve each year.
  1. Two Competent Communicator (CC) awards
  2. Two more CC awards
  3. One Advanced Communicator Bronze (ACB), Advanced Communicator Silver
      (ACS) or Advanced Communicator Gold (ACG) award
   4. One more ACB, ACS or ACG award
  5. One Competent Leader (CL), Advanced Leader Bronze (ALB), Advanced Leader
       Silver (ALS) or Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) award
  6. One more CL, ALB ALS or DTM award
  7. Four new members
  8. Four more new members
  9. A minimum of four club officers trained during each of the two training periods
10. On time payment of membership dues accompanied by the names of eight members (at
       least three of whom must be renewing members) for one period and on-time submission
       of one club officer list.
The 10 Club Goals fall into one of these four categories.

 STAGE TWO (Hybrid Program)
 
Stage two is a combination of the current system and the Pathways system, which I call the Hybrid system.
 
There will be a transition period during which the current education program runs concurrently with Pathways. Members can participate in one program or the other (or both, if they choose). During this time, clubs will have flexibility when it comes to the DCP. They can still aim for completing six educational goals—but they can choose from 12 options: Members can meet the six current educational goals, the six Pathways goals or a mix of goals from both education programs.

The 10 Club Goals fall into one of these four categories.
Education Membership Training Administration
 
To be considered for recognition, clubs must have 20 members or a net growth of at least five new members as of June 30th.
 
DCP Goals
 
EDUCATION

Goals 1 through 6 focus on education awards. When members have the opportunity to reach their education goals, they are benefiting from the Toastmasters experience, becoming better speakers and leaders.

The idea is to make the switch to the DCP in Pathways as seamless as possible. Once the transition period ends, the six Pathways goals will be the DCP educational goals for all clubs. The transition period lasts for two years after all regions have been included in the Pathways rollout.
