Smedley Award
For our club to qualify to receive the Smedley Award, we must add to our Club 108 roster: five new, dual, or reinstated members, between August 1 and September 30. Applications and payments for members who join during the time period must be received at World Headquarters or online no later than September 30. The Smedley Award is named in honor of Toastmasters founder Dr. Ralph C. Smedley. It is a ribbon that we can display on our club’s banner that we hang at the front of the room at each meeting. Having this this ribbon is a great tradition to be passed to the awarding club.
