The Distinguished Club Program is an annual program, running from July 1 through June 30th. The program consists of 10 goals your club should strive to achieve during this time using the Club Success Plan. Each incoming Club President is given a book called, "Distinguished Club Program / Club Success Plan -- How to be a Distinguished Club" at the beginning of his/her term.

World Headquarters tracks the progress of your club toward these goals throughout the year, sending quarterly progress reports to your Club President and posting monthly reports on the Toastmasters International website. At year-end, World Headquarters calculates the number of goals the club achieved and recognizes it as a Distinguished Club, Select Distinguished Club, or President's Select Distinguished Club based on the number of goals achieved and the number of members it has.
