🏆 Excellence is a Habit: Zuriberg Toastmasters Achieves Smedley Distinguished Status!

We are incredibly proud to announce that the Zuriberg Toastmasters Club has officially been recognized as a Smedley Distinguished Club for the 2025-2026 term!

Earning accolades is always a thrilling moment, but this milestone holds a particularly special place in our club’s history.

Here is why we are celebrating today:

  • A Perfect 10/10: To reach “Smedley Distinguished”—the absolute highest tier of recognition in Toastmasters International—a club must achieve all 10 out of 10 educational, membership, and administrative goals.
  • A 9-Year Legacy of Peak Performance: This marks our 9th consecutive year achieving the highest honors within Toastmasters!
  • Consistent Quality Since 2007: Since the club was founded, we have achieved at least “Distinguished” status an incredible 17 times.

Hitting this benchmark once is a sign of a fantastic year. Maintaining this level of excellence for over a decade proves a deep-rooted culture of dedication, consistent growth, and exceptional leadership. This isn’t just a certificate; it is proof of the hard work every single member puts in when they step up to the podium, take on an evaluation, step into a leadership role, or mentor a fellow speaker.

A massive thank you to our outgoing Executive Committee for steering the ship, and to our incredible members whose passion and commitment make this club the powerhouse it is.

Here is to another year of speaking, leading, and continuing our incredible streak! 🥂✨
