Building New Clubs |
| |
|
 |
Just as new members are the
lifeblood of every club, new
clubs are the lifeblood of
every district. Neither can
survive long without growth.
Forming, promoting and
inspiring a new club is a
worthy goal. It will change
many lives, including your
own. |
|
|
|
|
Have an idea/location for a new club.
Let the LGM know.
Email LGM. |
|
|
|
Want to
participate in a new club demo?
Add you name to
the list. |
|
|
|
Types of New Clubs |
| |
|
Community Clubs - interested in
starting a community Club? |
| |
|
1. |
Contact the LGM to let them
know the location and
potential date. |
|
2. |
Arrange a Demo meeting by
coordinating with the LGM. |
|
3. |
Publicize the demonstration
meeting thru the local
media, and at the meeting
location (bulletin board). |
|
4. |
Contact the local chamber of
commerce for a list of
organizations (Lions,
Rotary, Jaycees, etc.)
|
| |
and invite their officers to
the demonstration meeting. |
|
5. |
Publicize the meeting to
membership 'clusters.' These
are groups of people
(employees of small
businesses, church groups,
military personnel, etc.)
who would not support a
Toastmasters club by
themselves, but can
contribute a strong nucleus
of potential members. |
| |
|
|
|
Corporate Clubs - interested in
starting a corporate Club? |
| |
|
The key to building a corporate club is
to obtain the support of a person who
can authorize the formation of a club. |
| |
|
1. |
Contact the personnel
director (or ask the LGM to
do that), the person in
charge of human resources,
or even the company
president. Ask for a
meeting. |
|
2. |
Prepare for the meeting. You
or a district leader must be
able to convince the person
that Toastmasters training
helps employees improve
their communication and
leadership skills. |
|
3. |
Get the company's support. |
|
4. |
Once you have company
support, finalize their
financial commitment and
support. |
| |
and invite their officers to
the demonstration meeting. |
|
5. |
Arrange a time and place for
a demonstration meeting
(with the LGM's help). |
|
6. |
Invite company officials to
attend to show their
support. |
|
7. |
Publicize the demonstration
meeting on company bulletin
boards, in newsletters and
memos, and via the internet. |
