|

The induction ceremony is the specific responsibility of the

performed by the Club President, the Vice
President Membership or by any senior
Toastmaster who can handle it with style.
The following is an example of a ceremony inducting two or
more members simultaneously: |

INDUCTING OFFICER
“Membership in Toastmasters is a privilege. And the only
way to gain the benefits of our
program is to actively
participate.
Do you, (names), promise to be active members of this club,
to attend meetings regularly and
prepare fully for your duties?
Do you also promise to fulfill
the other points in the
Toastmasters Promise?” (You can
list additional points if you
wish.) (Members reply, “Yes.”)
Then turn to the club and ask... |
|
|
|
“Do you, the members of _________________ Toastmasters
club, promise to support (names)
as they work the Toastmasters
program?” (The club members say
“Yes.”) “It is my pleasure to
declare you installed as members
of _____________________
Toastmasters club.” (If your dub
presents a Toastmasters pin to
members, do it at this time.) |
|
|
|
Show your members that the club cares by providing all new
members with the following
“symbols of excellence”: |
|
|
|
“Toastmasters and You” Kit (Catalog No.

package of five), welcoming the
new member to the club and
providing a copy of “The Ice
Breaker” exercise. |
|
|
|
Membership Certificate (Catalog No.

framing. |
|
|
|

the new member to prominently
and proudly promote
