Training Basics – Getting It Right, Making it Work

Club Officer Training Building Blocks

Before club officers join you for training, give them the tools to begin the year with confidence and competence! The following items should be reviewed before attending the first Club Officer Training of the program year:

Club Success Plan (New)

The Club Success Plan is the first step towards delivering club excellence. Successful leadership is reflected in membership achievement, experience, engagement, and retention. Develop officer mindsets to make effective planning a natural, consistent habit: identifying and addressing common barriers to planning, critiquing plans, and implementing best practices.

Marketing (New)

Marketing: the initial ”conversation” with prospective members. Marketing drives prospective members to get curious, check out the scene, and decide whether the club culture is a fit. We are driven communicators, and this is our opportunity to show what we offer. In this session, club officers will examine prospective member motivation; craft corresponding marketing messages; and identify communication channels, tools, and resources that support club marketing efforts.

Prospective Member Engagement (New)

New members are exciting; they supply fresh ideas, energy, and potential while helping shape and strengthen the club. In this session, club officers will discuss approaches to converting prospective members using the Prospective Member Journey.

Member Engagement and Retention (New)

A thriving club environment begins with its members. High engagement drives member achievement, which leads to membership growth and strengthened community. In this session, club officers will develop strategies for retaining members and re-engaging past members.

Quality Club Meetings (New)

Club meetings are the premier venue for acknowledgment and achievement in the Toastmasters program, a place for members to practice skills and receive feedback and recognition. Meetings shape relationships, morale, and directly impact member retention. This session will advance a shared understanding of what a quality club meeting looks like and assist club officers in developing strategies for delivering great meetings.
