This club knocked it out of the park! It really impressed me. The meeting ran smoothly and efficiently. It was organized and professional. We were greeted warmly and felt welcome. Everything you could want in a Toastmaster club was there.
Before the meeting, I did research on this club. They had a nice picture on the website that made me think I would like this club immediately. Stats show they have 20 members and are President;s Distinguished. They started off by putting the agenda in chat which is helpful to all. They worked out the times of speeches and filling roles before the meeting started and they started on time. They began by telling us the house rules; mics off when not speaking and explained to the speaker how to pin the timer.
Both speakers were good, but the first one really wowed me. He spoke of a trip to Egypt that he and his father took. The second one told us about her High Performance Leadership project which was a seminar about how to be a better listener. She gave us time after her speech to ask questions (probably to see if we were listening)
This club has much to be proud of. They have 7 DTMs in their club and two outgoing area directors and one incoming director. Some people have multiple DTMs. One person even has 5 DTM's! The general evaluator and evaluators gave spot-on comments.
One area of improvement which the incoming VPPR mentioned is there is no link to Zoom on their webpage. That’s the reason my husband and I had some difficulties getting to the club. But I think that is one of the first orders of business that he is going to rectify.
This is definitely a club all clubs should aim to be like. Great job Blue Nile Toastmasters!!
