🎉 How Can I get a Triple Crown?
Hear from our District Director!
Our District Director, Tom Bielski, shares in this short 1-minute message what makes the Triple Crown so special — and how you can earn yours this year.
Last year, 38 outstanding members across District 17 achieved the coveted Triple Crown Award, a true symbol of dedication, persistence, and growth in their Toastmasters journey. Each one earned three or more education awards within a single Toastmasters year — a testament to their ongoing commitment to communication and leadership excellence.
The Triple Crown recognises those who continue learning, step up to new challenges, and inspire others by example. Whether it’s completing Pathways levels, serving as a club officer, or mentoring others, every milestone counts toward becoming a stronger speaker and leader.
Could you be next?
Set your goals for 2025/26 and aim to join next year’s Honour Roll of Triple Crown recipients. Every step you take in your Pathways journey brings you closer to your crown!
Congratulations again to our 2024 Triple Crown achievers — 38 shining examples of where dedication and learning can take you.
The Triple Crown Education Award honours Toastmasters who have earned at least three education awards in the Toastmasters year. This accomplishment signifies their unwavering dedication to personal and professional growth. Gala Award Night guests congratulated 38 Toastmasters across District 17.
