44 What leadership opportunities within the club are open to me as a member of Toastmasters?
All clubs have a staff of club officers. These are elected
once or twice a year, depending on whether the club meets
weekly or every other week (or monthly, etc.). Clubs that
meet weekly usually elect for six month terms. Elections
usually take place in May for the term July 1 to June 30 and,
where applicable, in May for the term July 1 to December 30
and in November for the term January 1 to June 30.
Club offices (and their rank within the club) are as follows:
* President - chairs meetings and supervises all other
officers
* Vice President Education - schedules meeting assign-
ments and works with members to see that their
needs are met
* Vice President Membership - runs club membership drive
and also works to keep members satisfied and happy
* Vice President Public Relations - makes sure club
meeting listings appear in the media, puts posters
up, etc.
* Secretary - sends correspondence on behalf of the
club, keeps club records and minutes
* Treasurer - handles financial affairs, such as dues
and purchases
* Sergeant of Arms - sets meeting room up, puts stuff
away, greets guests, etc.
Club offices are open to ANY member. There is no reason why
a new member cannot run for President without serving in any
other club office.
