CORONADO TOASTMASTERS OF ALBUQUERQUE
TOASTMASTER MEETING ROLES
Coronado Toastmasters of Albuquerque features a few members at each meeting who perform various supporting roles. They ensure meetings are conducted efficiently and professionally. These specific roles are listed and decribed here to help you know what to expect. Each of these roles are scheduled a month-at-a-time. The meeting schedule is avilable from the Club's homepage.
Prior to the meeting, the Toastmaster of the Day will contact you to confirm your role. If he does not, please try to contact him. The scheduled meeting participants are found on our homepage under the month's meeting schedule. Email address links for each of the club officers are available on the Club website homepage should you wish to contact someone.
Toastmaster of the Day: In charge of the meeting program; responsible for all participants.
Invocation Leader: Opens the meeting with a short quote or prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Humorist: Provides a short joke or humorous story for the meeting, usually after the Toastmaster of the Day has taken control of the meeting. Grammarian: Monitors grammar and word usage; provides the Word of the Day. TableTopics Master: Plans & develops questions or topics for all in attendance. Each person speaks for a short, pre-set time (usually 45 seconds in our Club, 2 minutes in others). They are encouraged to use the Word of the Day in their response. Timer/Tabulator: Monitors the time used for each section of the program. Chief & Assisstant Evaluators: Evaluate the meeting and the scheduled participants. Scheduled Speaker: Presents a 5 to 7 minute prepared speech; there are 3 to 4 speakers at every meeting. Toastmasters speech manuals give guidance for improving with every speech.

Further details on each role is provided to the member when they are scheduled. Copies of Club schedules are provided monthly, normally two weeks prior to the new month. Anyone can view these online as well. Schedules involve a member in a supporting role about once monthly. The member will also give a prepared speech at another meeting in the month.
Since guests do not fill these supporting meeting roles, members are encouraged to contact anyone of the Club Officers with their questions. You can find email links for the officers on the Coronado Toastmasters of Albuquerque home page, www.geocities.com/coronadotm.
