purpose |
| |
|
District 82 recognizes the importance of Club
websites in promoting the club, it's activities and
accomplishments. It recognizes that a majority of
new members come to Toastmasters through the
internet, and that a great website can be a real
asset to a club. It also knows that club webmasters
are under-appreciated, and we would like to recognize
them for their efforts.
The District would like to establish an annual award
to formally
recognize and acknowledge the hard work and
dedication that each webmaster has put into constructing their
websites using their own brand of style, creativity
and content.
It is to these sites that we owe our thanks and to
their Webmasters and Designers who obviously spend a
lot of time building and creating their sites, not
just to benefit themselves, but to also make a
positive contribution to their Club and to the
District at large. |

review the site in a timely manner, the D82 Web
Award judges reserve the right to disqualify the
site from the competition. |
