At Toastmasters, Linda Black gave some very valuable information on how a club or an organization to be successful. This presentation was geared for Toastmasters but the recommendations given tonight can be valuable information for all types of organizations. So as you look at these notes consider the implementation for Toastmasters as well as your other organizations.
- Club members and officers are the salesman of the organization.
- It’s important to have the room ready and all the resources available prior to the beginning of club
- Start the meeting and end the meeting on time
- Participants of specific meetings should arrive early and be prepared. (If you are scheduled for a speech, prepare your speech material in advance.)
- Have club officers for Phil their responsibilities and the club will run efficiently.
- Ensure that the club proceeds at a good pace.
- The enthusiasm of the members can impassion the enthusiasm of visitors.
- The contents of speeches and tasks preformed in club should come from the speech manuals and leadership manuals.
- Ensure that The Toastmaster has the agenda. (Have copies available to Willow people who have need of it such as the timer.)
- Work toward welcoming new members and take the opportunity to discuss how the club has benefited you in a positive way.
- Some of the benefits of Toastmasters that you could share with prospective members are improved communication skills, leadership, social skills, and self-confidence. Another benefit is as you present information to the club let them know that they could let misinformation by paying for college course but the more economic route is to Toastmasters. (The advantage of Toastmasters and leadership is that you get to do certain tasks he may have never done before and it gives you a chance to perform those activities and thus widen your capabilities.)
- When people see how exciting the club is they want to join.
