Springtime is for growth!

March is traditionally a month of challenges — not just the weather or new road construction, but club officer elections are around the corner, and two membership drives encourage us to bring more people into Toastmasters to develop skills and confidence!

Now is the time to get started on both these opportunities! If an officer is traveling or on vacation, it’s a great time to encourage another member to try out that office, or help them choose a project from your Club Success Plan to start thinking more about club support.

Have conversations about member goals and how officer duties overlap. Encourage officers to share their duties in a quick three-to-five minute speech — take turns over a couple months. Don’t forget: Officers are expected to attend twice-annual Leadership Institutes.

Bringing in new members means sharing Toastmasters education and networking, and it also means current members have the opportunity to mentor and lead. Some ways to bring new members in include

Use old school posters or social media like Meetup or Eventbrite for publicity
Hold a membership drive and the current member with the most guests or new members wins something cool
Hold an open house either on your own or with other clubs in your area to maximize convenience for new members
Brownie Membership Drive: If you bring in a guest, you and the guest both get a homemade, fudgy brownie. If you don’t bring a guest you don’t get a brownie!

Here’s to a springtime of GROWTH!
