Being the Toastmaster is a big responsibility. It takes some planning and forethought. Here are 10 steps to being a great Toastmaster in Burien Breakfast Toastmasters:1. Contact all of the members with roles and make sure they will be in attendance. If not, find their replacements now.
2. Connect with evaluators and speakers early in the week. Get introductions from speakers. Remind evaluators to connect with their speakers.
3. Send your introduction as Toastmaster to the President.
4. Arrive at the meeting early to distribute agendas and make sure all your players are in attendance. If you need someone to fill in, arrange that as quickly as possible before the start of the meeting.
5. Make sure to introduce the players for the meeting and have them explain their role.
6. Use the meeting guideline to keep the meeting on time.
7. After each speaker, ask members to write comments for the speaker and then remain silent for a minute to allow members to complete their notes.
8. After the last speaker, remind members to vote for best speaker.
9. After the last Table Topics, remind members to vote.
10. After the last evaluator, remind members to vote.
There you have it! Follow these guidelines and you will do just fine. Remember you can ask any of the officers for help, especially if this is your first time as Toastmaster (or second, or even third). We are here to help!
