MOTIVATION:

Why is it important that

your club becomes

Distinguished?

WHAT’S IN FOR ME?

Standard of excellence (common

benchmark and yardstick in TI)

A club can improve quality and

maintain value that causes each

member to thrive, grow, and succeed.

Every club should be a Distinguished

Club year after year; that means it is

helping its members to attain their

goals.
