For the sixth consecutive year and ninth time in 10 years, Hilton Head Island’s chapter of Toastmasters International was named a President’s Distinguished Club.

To attain that status, a club must earn nine of 10 possible points related to member achievement. Fast Trackers garnered all 10 possible points for the year by the end of May.

— At least four members earned the Competent Communicator award
