PHILIPSBURG:----Club officers of the four Toastmasters clubs on St Maarten spent their Sunday afternoon equipping themselves with knowledge in order to better serve their membership for the next year.
Some 22 Toastmasters Club Officers (board members) met the requirements set forth by Toastmasters International to attend 4 hours of training in their roles and responsibilities as Board members. The trainings, which were facilitated by Toastmasters trainer Rolando Tobias and aspiring trainer Valerie Brazier, consisted of duties to be performed by each member outside the Club meetings and during the Club meetings. The importance of planning, execution, and knowledge of Parliamentary Procedures were all highlighted. The session was an interactive one with senior Club Officers exchanging ideas with new Club officers in order to better serve their respective Club membership.
The trainings have proven to be a very important part of preparing the Club Officers to fulfill their leadership roles within the organization.
