Club Meeting Roles

51

Club Meeting Roles

The success of a Toastmasters meeting depends on the program
participants. There are many roles to fill, and each job is designed to improve
the members’ public speaking and leadership skills. Program participants must
know and understand their duties so they can prepare for them. Some roles
can be combined – for example, the Ah-Counter might also be the grammarian
or listen for uses of the word of the day.

How do you prepare for your meeting roles?

Ah-Counter

Helping members off their crutches

your listening skills. The purpose of the Ah-Counter is to note any word
or sound used as a crutch by anyone who speaks
during the meeting. Words may be inappropriate
interjections, such as and, well, but, so and you
know. Sounds may be ah, um or er. You should also
note when a speaker repeats a word or phrase such
as “I, I” or “This means, this means.” These words
and sounds can be annoying to listeners. The Ah-
Counter role is an excellent opportunity to practice

Several days before the meeting, use the information in A
Toastmaster Wears Many Hats or in the appendix of the Competent
Communication manual to prepare a brief explanation of the duties of the Ah-
Counter for the benefit of guests.

When you arrive at the meeting, bring a pen and blank piece of paper for
notes, or locate a blank copy of the Ah-Counter’s log, if your club has one, from
the sergeant at arms.

The president will call the meeting to order and introduce the
Toastmaster who will, in turn, introduce you and the other meeting
participants. When you’re introduced, explain the role of the Ah-Counter.
Some clubs levy small fines on members who do or do not do certain things.
(For example, members are fined who use filler words or are not wearing their
Toastmasters pin to the meeting. A fine is usually about five cents, acting more

as a friendly reminder than a punishment.) If your club levies fines, explain the
fine schedule.

Throughout the meeting, listen to everyone for sounds and long
pauses used as fillers and not as a necessary part of sentence structure. Write
down how many filler sounds or words each person used during all portions of
the meeting.

When you’re called on by the general evaluator during the
evaluation segment, stand by your chair and give your report.
After the meeting is adjourned, give your completed report to the treasurer for
collection of fines if this tradition applies to your club.

Evaluator
Evaluate to motivate!

People join Toastmasters to improve their speaking
and leadership skills, and these skills are improved
with the help of evaluations. Members complete
projects in the Competent Communication and
Competent Leadership manuals and you may be
asked to evaluate their work. At some point,
everyone is asked to participate by providing an
evaluation. You will provide both verbal and written
evaluations for speakers using the guide in the
manual. You’ll always give a written evaluation for
leadership roles, though verbal evaluations for leaders are handled differently
from club to club. Sometimes verbal evaluations are given during the meeting
and sometimes they are given privately, after the meeting. Check with your
vice president education (VPE) or the Toastmaster if you’re not sure of your
club’s method.
Several days before the meeting, review the Effective Evaluation
manual you received in your New Member Kit. Talk with the speaker or leader
you’ve been assigned to evaluate and find out which manual project they will
present. Review the project goals and what the speaker or leader hopes to
achieve.
Evaluation requires careful preparation if the speaker or leader is
to benefit. Study the project objectives as well as the evaluation guide in the
manual. Remember, the purpose of evaluation is to help people develop their
speaking or leadership skills in various situations. By actively listening,

providing reinforcement for their strengths and gently offering useful advice,
you motivate members to work hard and improve. When you show the way to
improvement, you’ve opened the door to strengthening their ability.

When you arrive at the meeting, speak briefly with the general
evaluator to confirm the evaluation session format. Then retrieve the manual
from the speaker or leader and ask one last time if he or she has any specific
goals in mind.

Record your impressions in the manual, along with your answers
to the evaluation questions. Be as objective as possible. Remember that good
evaluations may give new life to discouraged members and poor evaluations
may dishearten members who tried their best. Always provide specific
methods for improving and present them in a positive manner.

If you’re giving a verbal evaluation, stand and speak when
introduced. Though you may have written lengthy responses to manual
evaluation questions, don’t read the questions or your responses. Your verbal
evaluation time is limited. Don’t try to cover too much in your talk; two or
three points are plenty.

Begin and end your evaluation with a note of encouragement or
praise. Commend a successful speech or leadership assignment and describe
specifically how it was successful. Don’t allow the speaker or leader to remain
unaware of a valuable asset such as a smile or a sense of humor. Likewise,
don’t permit the speaker or leader to remain ignorant of a serious fault: if it is
personal, write it but don’t mention it aloud. Give the speaker or leader
deserved praise and tactful suggestions in the manner you would like to
receive them.

After the meeting, return the manual to the speaker or leader.
Add another word of encouragement and answer any questions the member
may have.

By giving feedback, you are personally contributing to your fellow
members’ improvement. Preparing and presenting evaluations is also an
opportunity for you to practice your listening, critical thinking, feedback and
motivation skills. And when the time comes to receive feedback, you’ll have a
better understanding of the process.

General Evaluator
Improving the process while overseeing the execution

Don’t worry; there’s no capital punishment during
Toastmasters meetings. Unless, of course, the
grammarian is in a bad mood.
If you think of a club meeting as a project, then you
can see the general evaluator as a kind of project
manager. As GE, your responsibilities include:

o Ensuring the speech and leadership project evaluators know their
responsibilities

o Supervising the timer, grammarian and Ah-Counter
o Evaluating everything that takes place during the club meeting
o Making sure each activity is performed correctly

Several days before the meeting, contact the person who will be
Toastmaster of the meeting and confirm the meeting program. You should also
develop a checklist to follow during the meeting so you don’t have to keep all
the details in your head. Some clubs have a prepared checklist. If your club
doesn’t have one, ask the Toastmaster to help you create your own checklist.

When discussing the meeting program with the Toastmaster, ask
what evaluation format to use. Typically, an evaluator is assigned to an
individual, but sometimes evaluations are done by panels. The general
evaluator may set up any evaluation procedure he or she chooses, but it
should fit into the meeting program. Remember, too, that every evaluation
must be brief and complete. Review the Effective Evaluation manual for
different evaluation formats.
You’ll also need to contact members serving as:

o Timer
o Grammarian
o Ah-Counter
o Individual evaluators

Remind them of their assignments, and brief evaluators on their
responsibilities, the members they will evaluate and the evaluation format to
use. Make sure the evaluators understand that evaluation is a positive, helping

act that enables fellow Toastmasters to develop their skills. Point out that an
evaluation should enhance the speaker’s self-esteem and encourage
evaluators to prepare thoroughly for their role. Recommend that they call the
member they’ve been assigned to evaluate to discuss specific project
objectives.

Your final task before the meeting is to prepare a brief verbal
explanation detailing:

o The purpose, techniques and benefits of evaluation so guests and new
members will better understand the function of evaluations.

o How evaluation is a positive experience designed to help people
overcome flaws and reinforce good habits in their presentations.

On meeting day:
o Arrive early.
o Make sure all evaluators are present and that they have the appropriate
speaker or leader’s manual.
o If an evaluator is absent, consult with the vice president education and
arrange for a substitute.
o Ask each evaluator if he or she has any questions about the project
objectives to be evaluated, verify each speaker’s time and notify the
timer if there are any changes.
o Take your seat near the back of the room. This will ensure you have a
good view of the meeting and all its participants.
o The Toastmaster of the meeting usually introduces the general evaluator
before the Table Topics portion of the meeting. But your club may have
a different order for introductions, so check with the Toastmaster or VPE
before the meeting if you’re not sure when you’ll be introduced.

When you’re introduced:
o Stand by your chair and deliver the explanation you prepared.
o Identify the grammarian, Ah-Counter and timer and have these members

briefly state the purpose of their jobs.
o Request the word of the day, if your club has one, from the grammarian

and then be seated.
During the meeting, use your checklist and take notes on everything that
happens (or doesn’t, but should). For example: Is the club’s property (e.g.
trophies, banner, educational material) properly displayed? Were there

unnecessary distractions that could have been avoided? Did the meeting and
each segment of it, begin and end on time?

Study each participant on the program, from the person giving the
invocation or thought for the day to the last report by the timer. Look for good
and less than desirable examples of preparation, organization, delivery,
enthusiasm, observation and general performance of duties. When it’s time to
begin the evaluation portion of the meeting, the Toastmaster will introduce
you, again. This time, you’ll go to the lectern and introduce each evaluator.
After each recitation, thank the evaluator for his or her efforts.
Finally, give your general evaluation of the meeting:

o Use your checklist and the notes you took during the meeting.
o Phrase your evaluation so it is helpful, encouraging and motivates club

members to implement the suggestions.
o You may wish to comment on the quality of evaluations. Were they

positive, upbeat, helpful? Did they point the way to improvement?
o When you’ve completed your evaluation, return control of the meeting

to the Toastmaster.
Being general evaluator is a big responsibility and it is integral to

the success of every single club member. People join Toastmasters because
they have a goal – they want to learn something. The club is where they learn.
If the learning environment isn’t focused and fun, members won’t learn what
they joined to learn. Your observations and suggestions help ensure the club is
meeting the goals and needs of each member.

And what do you get out of the deal? You get the chance to
practice and improve your skills in critical thinking, planning, preparation and
organization, time management, motivation and team building!
Grammarian
The syntax sentinel before the meeting

One benefit of Toastmasters is that it helps people
improve their grammar and word use. Being
grammarian also provides an exercise in expanding
listening skills. You have several responsibilities: to
introduce new words to members, to comment
on language usage during the course of the meeting,
and to provide examples of eloquence.

Several days before the meeting, select a "word of the day" (if this is done in
your club):

o It should be a word that will help members increase their vocabulary – a
word that can be incorporated easily into everyday conversation but is
different from the way people usually express themselves.

o Adjectives and adverbs are more adaptable than nouns or verbs, but feel
free to select your own special word.

o Print your word, its part of speech (adjective, adverb, noun, verb) and a
brief definition in letters large enough to be seen from the back of the
room.

o Prepare a sentence showing how the word is used.
o Also, prepare a brief explanation of the duties of the grammarian for the

benefit of the guests.

At the Meeting
Before the meeting begins, place your visual aid at the front of the

room where everyone can see it. Also get a blank piece of paper and pen ready
to make notes, or get a copy of the grammarian’s log, if your club has one,
from the sergeant at arms.
When introduced:

o Announce the word of the day, state its part of speech, define it, use it in
a sentence and ask that anyone speaking during any part of the meeting
use it.

o Briefly explain the role of the grammarian.
Throughout the meeting, listen to everyone’s word usage. Write

down any awkward use or misuse of the language (incomplete sentences,
sentences that change direction in midstream, incorrect grammar or
malapropisms) with a note of who erred. For example, point out if someone
used a singular verb with a plural subject. “One in five children wear glasses”
should be “one in five children wears glasses.” Note when a pronoun is
misused. “No one in the choir sings better than her” should be “No one in the
choir sings better than she.”

Write down who used the word of the day (or a derivative of it)
and note those who used it correctly or incorrectly. When called on by the
general evaluator during the evaluation segment:

o Stand by your chair and give your report.
o Try to offer the correct usage in every instance of misuse (instead of

merely announcing that something was wrong).
o Report on creative language usage and announce who used the word of

the day (or a derivative of it) correctly or incorrectly.
After the meeting, give your completed report to the treasurer for

collection of fines, if your club does this.

Meeting Speaker
Show your vocal verve!

No doubt you’ve guessed that the speaking program
is the center of every Toastmasters meeting. After all,
what’s Toastmasters without the talking? But
members don’t just stand up and start yakking. They
use the guidelines in the Competent Communication
(CC) manual and the Advanced Communication Series
(ACS) manuals to fully prepare their presentations.

The CC manual speeches usually last 5 - 7
minutes. ACS manual project speeches are 5-7
minutes or longer depending upon the assignment.

Every speaker is a role model and club
members learn from one another’s speeches. Prepare and rehearse to ensure
you present the best speech possible. Don’t insult your fellow club members
by delivering a poorly prepared speech. However, it’s also true that no speech
is perfect. So, get out there and try! Here’s what to do:

o Check your club’s meeting schedule regularly to find out when you’re
assigned to speak. Begin working on the speech at least a week in
advance. That way, you have enough time to devote to research,
organization and rehearsal.

o If you don’t write your own speech introduction, make sure the
Toastmaster of the meeting prepares a good one for you.

o Several days before the meeting, ask the general evaluator for your
evaluator’s name. Talk with your evaluator about the speech you’ll give.
Discuss your speech goals and personal concerns. Let your evaluator
know where you believe your speech ability needs strengthening, so he

or she can pay special attention to those aspects of your presentation.
Remember to bring your manual to the meeting.
o You should arrive at the meeting early to check the microphone, lighting
and anything else that could malfunction and ruin your talk. Give your
manual to your evaluator before the meeting starts and discuss any last-
minute issues with him or her. Sit near the front of the room and
carefully plan your approach to the lectern and your speech opening.
o During the meeting, give your full attention to the speakers at the
lectern. Don’t study your speech notes while someone else is talking.
When you’re introduced, smoothly and confidently leave your chair and
walk to the lectern. After your speech, wait for the Toastmaster to
return to the lectern, then return to your seat. Listen intently during
your evaluation for helpful hints that will assist in building better future
talks.
o After the meeting, reclaim your manual from your evaluator. Discuss any
questions you may have concerning your evaluation to clarify and avoid
any misinterpretations.
o Finally, have the vice president education (VPE) initial the Project
Completion Record in the back of your manual.

You’ll enjoy a growing sense of confidence as you repeat these
steps with new speech projects. Don’t be afraid to do the work, enjoy the
applause and reap the educational benefits. Your courage will be rewarded!

TABLE TOPICS™ Speaker
The articulate ad-libber

Most of the talking we do every day – simple
conversation – is impromptu speaking. Yet for some
members, TABLE TOPICS™ is the most challenging
part of a Toastmasters meeting.
Table Topics continues a long-standing Toastmasters
tradition–every member speaks at a meeting. But it’s
about more than just carrying on an anxiety-ridden
tradition. Table Topics is about developing your
ability to organize your thoughts quickly and respond
to an impromptu question or topic.

Table Topics usually begins after the

prepared speech presentations. The Toastmaster of the meeting will introduce
the Topicsmaster who will walk to the lectern and assume control of the
meeting. The Topicsmaster will give a brief description of the purpose of Table
Topics and mention if the topics will carry a theme.

The Topicsmaster will state the question or topic briefly and then
call on a respondent. Each speaker receives a different topic or question and
participants are called on at random.

When you’re asked to respond to a topic, stand next to your chair
and give your response. Your response should last one to two minutes.

Now, take a deep breath and get ready to be remarkable!

Timer
Do you have the time?

One of the skills Toastmasters practice is expressing a
thought within a specific time. As timer you are
responsible for monitoring time for each meeting
segment and each speaker.
You’ll also operate the timing signal, indicating to each
speaker how long he or she has been talking. Serving
as timer is an excellent opportunity to practice giving
instructions and time management – something we
do every day.

Here’s how to succeed as timer:
o Before the meeting, contact the Toastmaster and general evaluator to

confirm which members are scheduled program participants. Then
contact each speaker to confirm the time they’ll need for their prepared
speech.
o You’ll also need to write an explanation of your duties, emphasizing
timing rules and how timing signals will be given. For the benefit of
guests and new members, be sure to use the clearest possible language
and rehearse your presentation.
o On meeting day, retrieve the timing equipment from the sergeant at
arms. Be sure you understand how to operate the stopwatch and signal
device, make certain the timing equipment works and sit where the
signal device can be seen by all.

o The Toastmaster of the meeting will usually call on you to explain the
timing rules and demonstrate the signal device. Stand by your chair to
do so and then be seated.

o Throughout the meeting, listen carefully to each program participant
and signal them. Generally Table Topics speakers should be +/- 15
seconds of allowed time; prepared speakers must be +/- 30 seconds.
However, these times may vary from club to club. In addition, signal the
chairman, Toastmaster and Topicsmaster with red when they have
reached their allotted or agreed-upon time. Use the timer’s report or a
blank piece of paper to record each participant’s name and time used.

o When you’re called to report by the Topicsmaster, Toastmaster or
general evaluator, stand by your chair, announce the speaker’s name
and the time taken. Mention those members who are eligible for awards
if your club issues awards.

o After the meeting, return the stopwatch and timing signal device to the
sergeant at arms. Give the completed timer’s report to the secretary so
he or she can record it in the minutes (if this is done in your club).
Take on this role and the new habits formed will serve you well in

your private life and your career. People appreciate a speaker, friend or
employee who is mindful of time frames and deadlines.

Toastmaster
You are the emcee.

The Toastmaster is a meeting’s director and host.
You won’t usually be assigned this role until you are
thoroughly familiar with the club and its procedures.
If your club’s customs vary from those described
here, ask your mentor or the club vice president
education (VPE) for pointers well before the
meeting.

Begin preparing for your role several
days in advance. You can use the Toastmaster's Check List to help you prepare.
You’ll need to know who will fill the other meeting roles and if a theme is
planned for the meeting. You’ll also need an up-to-date meeting agenda. Get
this information from your VPE.

Next, contact the general evaluator and make sure you’re both
working from the same agenda. Ask the general evaluator to call other

members of the evaluation team – speech evaluators, Topicsmaster, timer,
grammarian, Ah-Counter – and remind them of their responsibilities.
Remember, as the director, you’re responsible for ensuring all of the meeting’s
players know their parts and hit their marks.

To help the Topicsmaster, create a list of program participants
already assigned a speaking role so he or she can call on others first.

As the Toastmaster, you’ll introduce each speaker. If a speaker will
not write his or her own introduction, you will write it. Introductions must be
brief and carefully planned. Contact speakers several days before the meeting
to ask about:

o Speech topic and title
o Manual and project title
o Assignment objectives
o Speaker’s personal objectives
o Delivery time

You need all of these elements to create your introductions.
Remember to keep the introductions between 30-60 seconds in length.

For more information about introductions see When You’re the
Introducer (Item 1167E), Introducing the Speaker (Item 111) and The Better
Speaker Series module Creating an Introduction (Item 277).

Of course, you want to avoid awkward interruptions or gaps in
meeting flow so your last preparation step before the meeting is to plan
remarks you can use to make smooth transitions from one portion of the
program to another. You may not need them, but you should be prepared for
the possibility of awkward periods of silence.

The Big Show

On meeting day, show up early. You’ll need time to make sure the
stage is set for a successful meeting. To start, check with each speaker as they
arrive to see if they have made any last-minute changes to their speeches –
such as changing the title.

You and the speakers will need quick and easy access to the
lectern. Direct the speakers to sit near the front of the room and make sure
they leave a seat open for you near the front.

When it’s time to start the program, the club president calls the
meeting to order. Sometimes he or she will make announcements, introduce
guests or conduct other club business before introducing you.

When you’re introduced, the president will wait until you arrive at
the lectern before being seated. (This is why you should sit at the front of the
room.)

Pay attention to the time. You are responsible for beginning and
ending the meeting on time. You may have to adjust the schedule during the
meeting to accomplish this. Make sure each meeting segment adheres to the
schedule. If time allows, you can make some brief remarks about
Toastmasters’ educational program for the benefit of guests and new
members before you move forward with the introductions:

o Introduce the general evaluator as you would any speaker. Remain
standing near the lectern after your introduction until the speaker has
assumed control of the lectern, then be seated. The general evaluator
will introduce the other members of the evaluation team.

o Introduce the Topicsmaster as you would any speaker. Remain standing
near the lectern after your introduction until the speaker has assumed
control of the lectern, then be seated.

o In some clubs it is customary for the Toastmaster and the person
assuming control of the lectern to exchange a handshake. This isn’t
required, but it’s sometimes done to help new members recognize when
control of the lectern passes from the Toastmaster to the speaker and
vice versa.

After the Table Topics session has concluded, most clubs begin the
speaking program. Introduce each speaker in turn.

You will lead the applause before and after the Table Topics
session, each speaker and the general evaluator. When each presenter has
finished, you return to the lectern so the speaker can be seated and you can
begin your next introduction.

At the conclusion of the speaking program, request the timer’s
report and vote for the best speaker, if your club offers this award. Briefly
reintroduce the general evaluator. While votes are being tallied, invite
comments from guests and announcements (such as verification of next
week’s program). Present trophies or ribbons as practiced by your club.
Request the thought for the day if your club provides for this. Be sure to find

out when your club does this during a meeting. Many clubs end on this note
while others prefer to begin a meeting with this thought in mind. Adjourn the
meeting, or if appropriate, return control to the club president.

Serving as Toastmaster is an excellent way to practice many
valuable skills as you strive to make the meeting one of the club’s best.
Preparation is the key to your success.

Topicsmaster

impromptu setting. With TABLE TOPICS™, the Topicsmaster gives
members who aren’t assigned a speaking role the
opportunity to speak during the meeting. The
Topicsmaster challenges each member with a
subject, and the speaker responds with a one- to
two-minute impromptu talk. Some people
underestimate the Topicsmaster role’s importance.
Not only does it provide you with an opportunity to
practice planning, preparation, organization, time
management and facilitation skills; your preparation
and topic selection help train members to quickly
organize and express their thoughts in an

Preparation is the key to leading a successful Table Topics session:

o Several days before the meeting, check with the Toastmaster to find out
if a theme meeting is scheduled. If so, prepare topics reflecting that
theme.

o Confirm who the prepared speakers, evaluators and general evaluator
will be so you can call on other members at the meeting to respond first.
You can call on program participants (speakers last) at the end of the
topics session if time allows.

o Select subjects and questions that allow speakers to offer opinions.
Don’t make the questions too long or complicated and make sure they
don’t require specialized knowledge.

o Phrase questions so the speakers clearly understand what you want
them to talk about.

o Remember, too, that your job is to give others a chance to speak, so
keep your own comments short.

o Table Topics usually begins after the prepared speech presentations, but
there are variations from club to club. Ask the Toastmaster or vice
president education if you’re unsure of when your portion of the
meeting begins.

When the Toastmaster introduces you, walk to the lectern and assume control
of the meeting:

o Briefly state the purpose of Table Topics and mention any theme.
o If your club has a word of the day, encourage speakers to use that word

in their response.
o Be certain everyone understands the maximum time they have for their

response and how the timing device works (if the timer hasn’t already
done so).
Then begin the program:
o Give each speaker a different topic or question and call on speakers at
random.
o Avoid going around the room in the order in which people are sitting.
o Don’t ask two people the same thing unless you specify that each must
give opposing viewpoints.
o State the question briefly – then call on a respondent.
o You may wish to invite visitors and guests to participate after they have
seen one or two members’ responses. But let visitors know they are free
to decline if they feel uncomfortable.
o Watch your total time. You may need to adjust the number of questions
so your segment ends on time. Even if your portion started late, try to
end on time to avoid the total meeting running overtime.
o If your club presents a best Table Topics speaker award:
o Ask the timer at the end of the Table Topics session to report those
eligible for the award. Though the times vary among clubs, generally a
participant is disqualified for stopping 15 seconds prior to the allowed
time or speaking 15 seconds beyond the allowed limit.
o Ask members to vote for best Table Topics speaker and pass their votes
to the sergeant at arms or vote counter.
If your club has a Table Topics evaluator, ask for his or her report and then
return control of the meeting to the Toastmaster.
