I wrote an article with advice for folks working on their Icebreaker speech. Feel free to share with your club newbies. And fun to note, this TM club is in South Africa that posted my article. http://highway.toastmastersclubs.org/speech.html

The goal of the Toastmasters Icebreaker speech is to introduce yourself to the club in 4-6 minutes.

Need more PR? Just because your club event has passed doesn't mean you have to stop using it as a marketing tool. Keep your club name out there. Announce your members' accomplishments. Announce your new club officers. #D37, let's grow!

What educational session would you attend at a district conference?
Here are some ideas - but I would love to have NEW IDEAS!
1) How to create a marketing website.
2) How to set appointments with company HR departments.
3) How to use social media for marketing
4) From Speaker to Trainer
5) Find Your Dress Style
6) Time Management to Grow Your Career
7) How to Produce a Webinar
8) ???
9) ???
10) ???

Right now I am not fishing for speakers but subjects... so what would be of value for you?

Dear Toastmaster Members,

Please accept my sincere thanks for your remarkable contributions and feedback to both the newsletters throughout the year and to me in my role as District 37’s Public Relations Officer (PRO). The contributions you made over the past year were invaluable, and helped me to better communicate the key messages and news of our District. I am thankful for every opportunity I received this year to listen and learn from your ideas. Because of all of you, my talents have grown so much in the field of public relations. You helped me to consider things from different points of view, which is always a plus. I also extend my deep appreciation to my Public Relations team, who were an exceptional and talented group of individuals to work with. Thank you all again for giving me the great honor of serving as your District 37 PRO.

I am looking forward to assisting with the transition of my role to a lady who I know will take this position, run with it and do a fabulous job. Please allow me to introduce YOUR NEW PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER …(drum role)……..JEAN BAILEY ROBOR!
