Are you an Advanced Leader Bronze or a Competent Leader (under the old system)? If so, you have demonstrated your abilities to lead, you have experience as an officer in a club, and you probably have your eyes on the Advanced Leader Silver (ALS) award. Part of the requirements for an ALS is a Club Coach or Club Mentor assignment.
District 31 needs your help. We need Club Coaches. There are 25-30 clubs in District 31 that need a Club Coach to help the officers to revitalize the clubs. Could you spend a few hours a month to coach the officers of a club? Could you use what you have learned in Toastmasters to help other clubs in your area? You have demonstrated the skills needed to be a coach.
Coaching is not that hard, but incredibly rewarding. Toastmaster's International has a book "How to Rebuild a Toastmasters Club" that outlines the steps needs to revitalize a club. The coach needs to attend officers meetings and some club meetings, and meet with the officers to create and execute a plan to bring the club back to health.
And you get the satisfaction of knowing you restored a club to health. In addition, if you register with the District 31 leadership, you will get credit towards you ALS award (provided the club makes Distinguished status for the year).
If you can help us out, please send me an email (richard_baker@3com.com), and we will match you up with a club to coach !!
Urgent Needs: a lunch club in Cambridge, an evening club in Wellesley, an evening club in Fitchburg, a lunch club in Boston, an evening club in Franklin, a lunch club in Chelmsford....
