8. www.toastmasters.org Why Attend 2 nd Round COT?  Get direct access to District Leaders  Share your own ideas and experiences  Network with members from other clubs  Build personal relationships with other members  Expand your network  Revisit the goals set in July  Introduce your mentees to leadership opportunities  Explore other Toastmasters roles  Club DCP goal

9. www.toastmasters.org Why Can’t We Offer Noon-hour COT?  Not enough time to cover the important aspects of training  Not enough time to offer consistent, professional training that supports the branding, enhances members experience  Could appear to diminish the value of training, implies that it is “good enough”

10. www.toastmasters.org How Can We Get Clubs to Participate  Ask them to host the event  Combine with Area Council Meeting  Create a potluck  Keynote speaker to draw the crowd  Special situation for a club that has a history? Please contact me and I will share some hints as to how to get these clubs involved in training.

11. www.toastmasters.org Why should we train 100%  Why not?  Builds a stronger team  What would happen if hockey team didn’t train their goalie? If the fire hall didn’t train 40% of their team? If the television crew didn’t train their camera man?  It takes 7 club officers working together to direct a club to be strong

12. www.toastmasters.org When do we train officers of newly chartered clubs?  As soon as possible  Sponsors & mentors meet with the club executive and conduct training that covers the responsibilities of each officers role  Invite the officers to attend district-sponsored COT so they can network with other toastmasters
