Have you ever attended a Toastmaster meeting that lacks organization, is hijacked by one or two members, or nothing seems to get accomplished? Have you participated in a club vote where the ballots were confusing or misleading?

Toastmaster International club meetings should abide by Parliamentarian rules.  But what about those who don’t know the rules? I admit, I’m often stymied by them. What’s a Toastmaster to do short of becoming a Robert’s Rules of Order expert?

December’s Club Success Workshop, hosted by Ross A. Moore, MS3, is here to help. This event will address the following techniques:

• Fundamental Principles of Parliamentary Procedure
• The Governing Document
• The Agenda
• Making a Motion
• Commonly Used Motions
• The Rules of Debate

Everyone is invited and encouraged to join us on Saturday, December 11, at 9:00 a.m. for this free event. This class will be impactful for all attendees from the newest Toastmaster to long-experienced club officers. Click here to register.

Our Dallas-based guest speaker, Kay Allison Crews (CPP-T, PRP), is a professional Parliamentarian and is the immediate Past President of the American Institute of Parliamentarians (AIP).
