How is your Membership Campaign?
Good Morning ! I have been absent for 12 days away in Miami for the
69th Toastmasters International Convention. It was an eye-opener for
me there in such a great convention.
BTW, how is the membership campaign ? Have clubs in your areas
recruited new members ? We are convinced that they are working very
hard to bring Toastmasters benefits to the community.
* Toastmasters can benefits virtually everyone
* A person will join if he or she believes in you
* You must encourage the VPM of every clubs to guide prospective
members to understand the importance of Toastmasters learning
opportunities
** make every club meeting a sales tool
-- have a well planned club meeting agenda. The Toastmasters of the
day will keep the meeting on track
-- General Evaluator manages the evaluation of the club meeting
He/she introduces the grammarian, Ah counter, and Speech Evaluators
He/She then provides a general overview of the meeting, highlighting
areas which was well done and suggest areas of improvement
-- Speech evaluators shall provide feedback to manual speakers
Begin with comments reinforcing specific things the speaker did
well. Next provide areas for improvement - be specific and
positive. Finally close with a positive/upbeat comment designed
to encourage the speaker to give the next speech
** table topics master to lead the impromptu session. Topics to be drawn
from a variety of current issues and sources
** Timers shall play an important role to help the speaker to keep their
time.
Please spread the words round your community. Invite guests, invest them
to join. Follow up to help them join. Then encourage them to participate
in the Toastmasters program......
Kindly circulate to all your clubs members and let us make the August/
September membership campaign month a great breakthorugh.
