I am excited that you are taking on a Role at our next Toastmasters meeting!! Part of the Toastmasters learning experience is taking advantage of every opportunity to practice in front of a large group. Only with continuous practice and honest effort will you see the wonderful benefits of Toastmasters!! Each meeting role is designed to improve the member’s public speaking, active listening, and leadership skills. Regardless of your role, your participation is fundamental to our meeting’s success and making our club experience enjoyable for everyone.

In order to be successful in your role, you must clearly understand its duties and know how to prepare for it. The following sections in this manual will provide detailed instructions on what you need to do before, during, and after the meeting. Our Toastmasters TEAMS site also contains samples Introduction scripts, tracking spreadsheets, and additional resources to help you in your respective role. Being prepared will help reduce all of your nerves and ensure that you give your best performance. As always, all the Officers and myself are available to assist you in preparing for your respective role. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time for assistance.
