What is the Cap Sias Award? The Carleton “Cap” Sias Toastmaster Achievement Award is District 19’s most coveted, prestigious and respected award to acknowledge and honor membership excellence, to acknowledge and honor an exemplary District member who displays similar commitment, dedication and effort for Toastmasters’ program and fellow members, and has made significant, praiseworthy contributions toward achieving the goals and mission of the club, Area, Division and District.
Since the District Council voted in May 2011 to separate this award from the Toastmaster of the Year award, we have not had any nominations submitted. Submitting your nomination is easy. Go to https://district19.me/cap-sias/, click on Cap Sias Award and complete the form.
The Guidelines and the Application do not state there are limitations on who can nominate members. This would mean a member can nominate him/herself for the award. Cap Sias is achievement over the life spam the Toastmaster Member has been a member but according to the Guidelines, the member has to be in good standing at least 3 years prior to receiving the award.
There are 3 things you need to consider for the nomination eligibility:
- A District Governor, International Director or International President is eligible for this award three years after leaving office.
- A Carleton “Cap” Sias Toastmaster Achievement Award recipient is not eligible to receive this award a second time
- Candidates must meet the following criteria to be eligible:
- Was in good standing with Toastmasters International for no less than three consecutive years prior to receiving the award.
