  • Adding group evaluation to meetings
Simona F Necula

Speakers dictate whether or not they want a evaluations for the group. ChrisB will let speakers know they can ask the general audience to fill out forms if they want more feedback. ChrisB should also let the speakers know that they should print out copies of the evaluaton form associated w. their speech and bring them to the meetings if they want group evaluations.

Note: We had some interesting discussion about how to pick evaluators. (Evaluator has already done a number of speeches (we have such a junior club this might be hard because of lack of experience right now); an evaluator has already done the speech type being presented (with pathways, this might be difficult because of the wide range of speech types.))

  • Toastmaster Topic
 Discussion topics can become serious. One suggestion is to have a theme which will help keep the topics lighter and focused. Additionally, the President should remind the Toastmaster and the Table topics speaker about letting the audience know they can change the topic if they like.
