We would like to make this petition to whq.
Dear TI Educational Services
During this COVID-19 pandemic, as Toastmaster events are getting cancelled and meetings are transitioning to online only, we as club coaches find ourselves in a difficult position to complete our duties for clubs to get DCP credit by the June 2020 deadline. This outbreak has already started to impact the economy and many existing and potential members are having trouble in paying their dues. With cancellation of big events such as the District Conferences, Division and District speech contests among others, it is difficult to continue membership building efforts right now.
For many of us advanced members, club coaching is our only unfinished requirement for legacy DTM. Hence we humbly request for an extension to the timeline for completing the legacy program requirements, especially club coaching, by at least 6 months. Please allow us the time to settle into this 'new normal' that we hope will be temporary,
Sincerely
Members of D24.
Thank you George for posting the petition draft in the blog and thank you for creating the blog in the first place. This enables us to continue the conversation as we overcome this pandemic together as Toastmasters.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the comments from my fellow coaches on the content of the petition.
Should we use change.org to share with fellow members and club coaches for their signatures or use a formal petition letter with the District letterhead?
