How to Support Incarcerated Members in Adopting Pathways

by Jamie Pickering, DTM, District Director

The following was emailed to District Leaders, June 11, 2020

 

Dear District Leaders,

Over the past several months, there have been questions about Prison clubs continuing with Pathways or converting to Gavel clubs due to the end of the traditional education program. Therefore, a group of Prison club experts and board members formed a working group to identify best practices that could be shared across Districts, to offer support and decrease the need to convert to a Gavel club by June 30.

We are pleased to present a set of webinars that will be held on June 17th and June 18th  at 8:00 p.m. CT to provide Toastmasters members the opportunity to learn from our panel of Prison Club experts. These are dedicated members who understand the challenges and opportunities in supporting Prison Clubs and members who are incarcerated.

You may join one session or both. The first webinar is designed to introduce some of the familiar terms used within these unique clubs, and the second webinar will go in-depth regarding best practices.

These webinars are free and only available on these two dates. For privacy reasons, these sessions will not be recorded. So, tune in and listen to these experts live, ask your questions, and learn more about this wonderful opportunity to support incarcerated members in adopting Pathways and make a lasting impact on the community. You may also forward this to any other members who may be interested.
