Odyssey Toastmasters celebrates 5 years

Growth and Achievement: Toastmasters clubs often celebrate their anniversaries by highlighting their growth and the achievements of their members over the years. This can include showcasing success stories of members who have improved their public speaking and leadership skills through the club. It is a fine time to reflect back on what has been great during this time. As your club reaches it’s next mile stone, look at how you can recongise how far you members have come and how they have grown during this time. Do share your member stories with us and send photo of your special events.

Many clubs experience a loss in membership at September renewals as existing members leave the club for lots of different reasons. This incentive rewards clubs which renew 80% or more of their membership base at 30th June 2021. Having a good base of experienced members is important to offer mentoring to new members and stability to the club. 

It’s a good idea to follow up with members who do not renew to help club officers to understand the reason for not renewing and to extend an invite to rejoin at a future stage. They may be happy to stay on the club’s email list with this in mind.

Good PR attracts new guests, invites discussion and improves the reputation of the Club and Toastmasters generally.

Many clubs experience a loss in membership at September renewals as existing members leave the club for lots of different reasons. Recruiting in the early months helps to maintain the membership based upon the number of members at 30 June.

Maintaining a healthy membership number (25+) gives the club a much better opportunity to hold quality meetings with enough members to avoid double roles. Quality club meetings attract new members. Healthy club growth is an important part of Club Success.
