Welcome to ClubCoach12.Blog.com.

Welcome to ClubCoach12, the District 12 blog site created to address questions and concerns, share success stories, and provide encouragement to Toastmaster leaders committed to membership growth throughout District 12 Toastmasters!

To get started, here are questions that were asked during the Fall District 12 Fall Conference held in October, 2010.  You are welcome to share your feedback/comments relative to the questions.

1. Your club has over 20 paid members but only 5 to 8 attend regularly. How can you increase interest and attendance at club meetings?

2.  Your club has 10 paid members….and like it that way!!  Toastmasters International recommends the District assign a club coach.  What type of person is an ideal coach to help your club?

3. Your club membership dropped below 6 paid members and your charter is about to be terminated by TI.  What are some options to save your club?

 4. Your club has not been able to attract new members for the last 2 years.  What activities would help bring in new members?

 5.Your club was notified that 5 members will not renew their dues in October.  How would you motivate them to continue in Toastmasters?

 6.  Do you think that club officers who do not attend officers training at TLI are the clubs that struggle the most with membership?  Why?

 7.  Name 2 members in your club who would be a good coach, mentor or sponsor and explain why.

8.  You have a teenager that just turned 18 years old and is planning to go to a local university. How would you describe to him/her the benefits of joining a local Toastmasters club, which you’re including in their High School Graduation gift basket?

9.  Your 65-year old father-in-law just celebrated his retirement.  How would you inspire him to attend your Toastmasters club meeting and become a member?

  10. You are mentoring a promising co-worker, who appears at times to be apprehensive and does not contribute to the best of his abilities.  As a mentor, how do you inspire your co-worker to consider joining Toastmasters to improve his communication and leadership skills?

  11. One of your club members just completed her 6th speech in the Competent Communicator  manual. She is moving out of the area and cannot attend your club meetings anymore.  What do you say to motivate her to continue in the Toastmasters educational program?

12.  We have all heard about Toastmasters from family, co-workers and even newspaper ads, flyers at the library and magazines in the doctor’s office.  What other suggestions do you have for prospecting new guests and members?

13.  You like being a Toastmaster, but the club meetings have lost creativity and vitality from the membership, and I’m not particularly interested in attending anymore.  What should you do?

14.  Your club picks the same people to serve in certain meeting roles and officer positions. You are interested in doing one of them.  How would you change the club’s status quo?

15.  There seems to be an internal  clique  in your Toastmaster club and you feel like you don’t  belong.  You don’t want to change clubs because it’s a good location.  What can you do about that?

16.  Your club president doesn’t seem to be open to suggestions for change.  How do you handle that?
