    CLUB LEADERSHIPTRAINING SESSION

    The club is the heart of the Toastmasters program. It provides the environment and supportmembers need to develop their communication and leadership skills. Club officers support theclub and sustain consistent club quality to keep members satisfied. In order for a club to besuccessful, club officers must know their roles and responsibilities. Thats why this training sessionis so important: it identifies officers' responsibilities and describes how to fulfill them.

    The cornerstone of a good training session is preparation. A good presenter of a club officertraining session is familiar with the Club Leadership Handboo k (Item 1310). A free PDF of this itemis available at www.toastmasters.org/clh .

    Training does not end with the training session. It is a process that continues throughout an officers

    term. Let your participants know the area governor and district leaders are all available to helpif questions arise during their term of office, and provide them with area and division governorcontact information for their respective clubs.

    CONDUCTING THE SESSION

    The president is responsible for ensuring the club fulfills its mission and that members achieve theirself-development goals. This training identifies a presidents responsibilities and discusses someways to fulfill them.

    This product consists of three parts:

    1. Definition and explanation of the session

    2. A training outline3. A PowerPoint presentation to be viewed along with the session

    IN YOUR OWN WORDS

    The outline is not a script and should not be read word-for-word. Instead, use thedocument as a guide for presenting the material with your own narrative style. Thistraining session may be modified by each district as necessary.

    USING VISUAL AIDS AND HANDOUTS EFFECTIVELY

    Visual aids and handouts add interest and help your audience retain information. You areencouraged to use them. If you plan to use the PowerPoint slides for this session as visual aids, youwill need a data projector, a laptop computer, a table to support them, and a screen for viewing.In the outline are indications for placement of the PowerPoint slides and distribution of handouts.Each is numbered. Please note that the first slide in the PowerPoint show is a title slide and is notincluded in this numbering system.

    If you cannot arrange for projection equipment but still would like to use visuals, you may copythe material onto a flipchart. Do this before the presentation. Use a heavy marking pen that doesnot seep through the paper, and write on every third or fourth page so succeeding visuals will notshow through. Also, make your letters large and heavy with plenty of space between them.

    Follow these tips when using visual aids: Set them up and test them before the meeting begins. Place them so they are easily visibleto listeners. Place your projector so it projects a large, high, undistorted image on the screen.Focus the image.

    Bring spare equipment, such as a projector bulb, extension cord, and extra marking pens.

    Display your visuals only when they are needed. If you are using a flipchart, flip the page backout of view when you are finished with it.

    Remember not to stand between the screen or flipchart and your audience or you will blocktheir view.

    Maintain eye contact with your listeners. Do not talk to the screen or flipchart. If you must turn

    your back to point out something, pause as you point it out, and then resume speaking onlywhen facing your audience again.

    HOW TO USE THE OUTLINEAs you prepare for the session, keep two things in mind:

    1. Fit your planned discussion into the time allocated.2. Allow ample time for group discussion and participation.
