Club Management
Club Goals
Club officers are asked to work together
as a team, and perhaps one of the most
important activities of a club's
executive team is to set goals for the
club. From defining vision, mission and
value statements to creating a Club
Success Plan, there are several
activities involved in making your club
successful.
Educational Activities
The main reason that most members decide
to join a club is to improve their
speaking, listening and leadership
skills. This is the main reason for the
existence of the Toastmasters program.
As such, there are a number of special
activities that a club can conduct to
help its members improve their
communication and leadership skills.
Club Administration
Like any organization, managing a club
involves several administrative duties
to keep things running smoothly. The
basic administration of your club will
involve a number of tasks — from
completing membership forms, collecting
dues, and meeting deadlines to building
your club's membership and communicating
with Toastmasters International.
Club Officer Roles
The key to any successful club is the
leadership of the club, and a large part
of the Toastmasters program is building
leadership skills. Being an officer in a
club is one of the most effective — and
rewarding — ways both to build your
leadership skills and to help your club
reach its goals.
Club Promotion
The overall health of a club depends
very much on the number of active
members in that club. Having a larger
number of members in your club generally
translates into more energetic and
interesting meetings, which in turns
leads to a higher level of satisfaction
among your club's members. Gaining new
members, therefore, is a critical aspect
of managing your club, and promoting
your club is probably the best way to
attract new members.
