Toastmasters' Officer Training

Just attended the Division C Officer Training. Learned 4 news things I'd like to share. 1) The Successful Open House 2) Useful websites Information and Applications for Social Media 3) Run a program on Local Access Program 4) go to drama professors at local colleges to grow Toastmasters' membership. 1) For hosting a successful open house, we were taught it's all in the planning. Plan two months in advance. Set goals, discuss date and time, publicity, guest speaker, agenda, refreshments, handouts and follow-up calls. Make the event a win-win for all by creating an environment that is comfortable. Have fund and your guests will have fun two. hosting a successful open house requires planning at least two months in advance. 2) Learned our club should really have a blog. We can put our minutes on the blog and it will help with Search Engine Optimization. This, is the first post! 3) We broke out into groups during the training session and one of the VP of PRs suggested going to the local cable company and running a program on a local access channel. They further suggested having a high school student interested in video editing create a program from a pre-recorded video file. 4) Another great PR suggestion to help us get more Members and in turn help them improve their public speaking, oral communications and leadership skills was a suggestion to go to the local colleges and let the drama teachers know about Eagle Toastmasters. Certainly Toastmasters can help an up and coming actress with their comfort level in front of a group of people.
