Club Reinstatement Process Updated November 2024

Club Reinstatement Process - Updated

Changes to the reinstatement process for clubs which are effective immediately, were approved by The Board of Directors to help streamline the reinstatement process, making it easier to understand, and provide all suspended and closed clubs the same opportunity to return to good standing.

This new policy update means that a number of clubs that have closed in the past two years, are eligible for reinstatement - with no club charter fee ($125) and can do so for only 12 members. Clubs we are considering to reinstate are: PMI Toastmasters (Project Management Institute), UBC Toastmasters, Golden Speakers, Pacific Spirit Toastmasters, and Fyrebyrde Toastmasters. If you are interested these initiatives, please reach out to Louisa Davis louisamba@hotmail.com.

The requirements are now standardized for all clubs wanting to return to good standing and the changes are outlined in Protocol 2.0 as follows:

Protocol 2.0: Club and Membership Eligibility

1. Club Reinstatement
 

A.  Clubs inactive for one (1) to four (4) full dues renewal periods may be reinstated. To do so, the club must submit signed membership applications for all individual members to World Headquarters and pay all of the following in full:

1. Current renewal dues for a minimum of 12 individual members, at least three (3) of whom were individual members of the club immediately prior to its inactive status and;
2. Future dues for the next renewal period for the same 12 individual members.  

B.  In addition to the payment requirements, each reinstating club is also eligible to have up to two (2) club mentors appointed at the time of reinstatement.

C.  Clubs inactive for five (5) or more full dues renewal periods are required to be chartered as new clubs, meeting all chartering requirements.
