If you are scheduled to speak this week, please do this.

When you are scheduled to speak, there are several things you can do to help the Toastmaster, VP of Education, and yourself. The sooner you can provide this information, the better it supports the quality of the meeting and your presentation.

Before Wednesday of the Meeting

Speech info

If working in a printed manual (the Legacy educational program), let the Toastmaster and VP of Education know:

1. Which manual you are working in
2. Which project number you are presenting

If working in a Pathways program:

1. Which path you are working on
2. Which project number you are presenting
3. The basic objectives and timing for that project

Intro for your speech

Please prepare an introduction for use by the Toastmaster. It helps the Toastmaster, but it's also a very effective speaker's tool. Send your introduction to the Toastmaster before the meeting, and bring a copy with you just in case.

Projector

We need to bring a projector to the meeting, so let the Toastmaster know as soon as possible if you need one for your speech.

Deliverables before Wednesday

Copy this and send it in an email to the Toastmaster:

Manual Name:
Project Title:
Speech Title:
Intro for Toastmaster:
Time:
Projector needed: Yes / No

(If Yes, the Toastmaster will consolidate requests and contact the equipment lead no later than Wednesday evening.)

Day of the Meeting

Please bring your manual or a printout of the Pathways evaluation form for use by your evaluator during the meeting.

After the Meeting

If this is not your first speech, it is advisable to review the feedback provided by members and your evaluator from previous speeches. If you haven't watched it yet, review the video of your speech(es) on the club's archive.

Thanks for being a Gilbert Toastmaster.
