There was a correction in the contest packets: Correction to the Judge's Certification of Eligibility and Code of Ethics form - A judge must have completed a minimum of six speech projects from the Competent Communication manual for all contests. This is in addition to the "other" requirements like member and club in good standing, but it states that the member must have been in good standing for a minimum of six months. (Wow, I didn't know that). My question is, are we adhering to this amendment or are we still sticking by D37 certification?

Thank you, Toastmasters, for helping me gain confidence, ability and savvy in public speaking. I spoke today at a business networking group affiliated with the Mooresville Chamber of Commerce, and have an upcoiming speaking engagement with the Lake Norman Chamber. Two professional speaking engagements = great exposure for my business = increased clients = success!
