Toastmasters Tip #9 For New Toastmasters And New Officers |
|
|
|
|
Club Surveys are an excellent way to determine how
well the club is serving its members and what ways it
can improve that service. A survey should be done
once or twice each year. The questions should
mostly be multiple choice (with areas for comments
on any of them). The questions should ask such
things as rating of the club and its meetings and its
officers, how well does the club perform in meeting
the goals of the members, how useful are the speech
evaluations, what they like best and least, what
roles they like to do best and least, etc. One or two
open-ended questions should ask for feedback on
ways to improve the club. (For the full list of TOP
TEN TIPS FOR NEW TOASTMASTERS AND NEW
OFFICERS, go to
www.toastmasters22.org).

Why Be an Area Governor? |
|
|
by Evie Curtis, Area L2 Governor
|
|
I cannot remember what made me volunteer for the
position of Area Governor. Something did - maybe to
meet one of the requirements for Advanced Leader.
As I recall, my arm did not get twisted and it was not
to save anyone's life. I think I actually made the
decision myself and nominated myself. You probably
think I must have been out of my mind. I can tell you
that I questioned my own sanity following Area
Governor training (yes, the District does give you
training for this position). The Area Governor job is a
big job, but it is a great job.
I have held the L2 Area Governor position for two
years and working with my Clubs has been the best!
Why? Glad you asked because I am going to share a
few things with you and hope this inspires you to
nominate yourself as an Area Governor or an
Assistant Area Governor.
Officially, the Area Governor serves as a leader and a
link between the District and the Clubs. For each
Club in your Area, you work on the Distinguished Club
Plan, you visit each Club at least twice a year, you
become a resource to your Clubs, and you
communicate District business to your Clubs. If this
sounds overwhelming, it is not. You are sharing your
Toastmaster's knowledge and experience with your
Area.
My favorite part is the Club visits. Imagine the
opportunity to see four to six Clubs in-action, hear
all new speeches, learn new ideas, hear effective
evaluations, see various Club dynamics AND share all
of this knowledge with, not only your Club, but each
Club in your Area. You get to inspire your Clubs and
your Clubs will inspire you. Before you know it, you
are hosting a speech competition, attending a
District conference, and you are involved! That
involvement translates into leadership. You will be a
better Toastmaster and a more effective leader after
you have had the opportunity to serve in a District
leadership role.
Yes, our District needs good leaders, including you,
but being an Area Governor has even more benefits
for you. You'll become a better leader, meet some
great Toastmasters, get a bunch of useful ideas, and
have fun! Nominate yourself today!
