Excited to share that I’ve been awarded the Toastmasters Triple Crown for the 2023–2024 year – a milestone that celebrates my dedication to growth in communication and leadership.
What is the Toastmasters Triple Crown?
The Triple Crown is a recognition awarded by Toastmasters International to members who complete three or more educational achievements within a single program year (July 1 to June 30). For the 2023–2024 year, I earned this award by completing multiple Pathways projects focused on both communication and leadership. It reflects the consistent effort I’ve put into improving as a speaker, a leader, and a lifelong learner—both inside and outside the club.
How Do You Earn the Triple Crown?
To earn the Triple Crown in Toastmasters, a member must complete three or more educational awards within a single program year (July 1 – June 30). These awards are part of the Pathways learning experience, which includes various paths focused on public speaking, leadership, and personal development.
Each path is made up of multiple levels, and each level has specific projects—such as giving speeches, leading meetings, mentoring others, or managing projects. Completing a level counts as one educational award. So, when a member completes three levels (or a mix of levels across different paths), they qualify for the Triple Crown.
It’s not just about checking boxes—it reflects consistent effort, goal-setting, and active involvement in club and district activities.
Why the Triple Crown Matters
Earning the Triple Crown isn’t just about completing projects—it’s a milestone that reflects commitment, consistency, and growth. It shows that a member is actively working to sharpen both their communication and leadership skills.
It also often means stepping outside of comfort zones: delivering speeches, taking on leadership roles, mentoring others, and leading initiatives within a club or district. The Triple Crown is a recognition of someone who’s not just participating in Toastmasters—but truly thriving in the program and pushing themselves to grow.
For many, it’s also a sign of momentum toward bigger goals, like becoming a Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM), taking on district leadership roles, or becoming a professional speaker or trainer.
