Sergeant At Arms' Club Officer Forum Sergeant At Arms' Club Officer Forum
–
15 March 2023Oft neglected, always necessary, the Sergeant At Arms is an important role in toastmasters clubs, as the keeper of the club's physical property, the doorkeeper and janitor, room set-up person and greeter. Yet the role could be so much more. We'll look at the SAA role in the quarterly forum from several different angles, including their role as the chair of the Social and Reception Committee of the club — the organizer of open houses and contest refreshments, and the first welcoming face to guests and new members.
Forum key: D53-Forum
The Sergeant at Arms forums will meet on: 9/15/2022, 12/15/2022, 3/15/2023, and 6/15/2023

Secretaries' Forums Secretaries' Forums
–
16 March 2023The Club Secretary Forum is a quarterly occasion for club secretaries to meet and talk about the challenges and opportunities of their role. The Secretary of a club is more than a glorified note-taker; with the President and one VP, they're one of the minimum requirements for the officer team of a club. Additionally, their responsibilities for organizing the agenda of Executive Committee meetings and club Business Meetings, and accurately recording the results of those meetings, have power in a court of law. Your role is important to the success of the club!
Forum key: D53-Forum
The Secretary Forums will take place on 9/13/2022, 12/13/2022, 3/14/2022, and 6/14/2022.
