Not necessary. Club advisors will provide the necessary guidance to get you started. Ongoing guidance will be provided throughout the term to ensure that you gain the maximum benefits of serving as a club officer.
The only exception will be the Club President role. It is not open for application. The right candidate will be handpicked by Club Advisors. Usually, the opportunity to lead as the MMTMC Club President will be offered to those who have serve at least ONE term as an EXCO member previously.
A toastmaster’s term is one year long. Hence, the club officer role requires you to commit to a one year period. It begins on the 1st of Jul of each year and ends on the 30th Jun of the following year.
Usually, we on board new leaders once a year on the 1st Jul. However, leadership transition takes place as early as six months before that. So you will be invited to be a passive observer months in advance for the role you will be officially taking over from 1st of Jul each term.
Occasionally, we may inject additional club officers in the midst of a term. This happens when there is an opening or opportunity to do so.
Most certainly. In fact, some of the roles provides you with more opportunities to speak impromptu. The VPE role provides you an opportunity to update members of what’s upcoming during the announcement segment. You get to polish your skills of “elevator pitch” given the 5 minutes to intrigue members of upcoming events and meetings.
Similarly, the VPM role provides the opportunity to hone your skills at each meeting with a “membership drive” segment. Occasionally, the CP/VPE/VPM may choose to rotate amongst EXCO members to deliver the same.
In essence, EXCO duties does not diminish the chances you get to speak. But open up more opportunities for you to try different form of speech that the Toastmasters curriculum may not provide.
