Online Guide to Meeting Assignments
Chairman 1
| Purpose |
 |
You are the MC (master of ceremonies)
for the first part of the meeting. You introduce each speaker, up to and
including the Table Topics Master. This includes Welcome to Guests,
Toast, Read or Recite, and other minor assignments in this section. |
|
|
|
|
Before the meeting
begins |
|
Find out what each of your speakers is
going to be talking about. |
|
|
Suggest to speakers
that they move to the front of the room before you introduce them. This
will improve the flow of your section of the meeting. |
|
|
|
|
What to
do during your assignment |
|
The President will introduce you. |
|
|
You stand, acknowledge the President,
and give a brief (1-2 minute) talk on the theme. |
|
|
Introduce each speaker, giving the title
of their talk, eg "Next we have Michael Said with his inspirational
entitled 'On the shoulders of Giants' ". |
|
|
Lead the applause
and sit down once the speaker has reached the lectern. |
|
|
When introducing a toast, remind
everyone to have something in their glasses. |
|
|
When each speaker finishes, thank them,
but avoid commenting too much on their content or their performance.
That's the job of the General Evaluator. |
|
|
When you have thanked the last speaker
in this section, (usually the Table Topics Master), you hand back to the
President. |
|
|
|
|
|
That is the end of your assignment. You
will be evaluated by the General Evaluator |
