Observe
protocol by introducing special guests first, then general visitors. |

If there are visiting
Toastmasters, mention their club, level and office (Cc, ACB, President
etc). |
| |
|
As you introduce each
guest, ask the person to stand and then lead the applause. |

|
After the
introductions, conclude with a short but enthusiastic welcome,
then hand back to Chairman 1. |
| |
|
If you make reference
to a person's occupation, be certain you have the correct title of his
status, position, etc. |
| |
|
Sit near the door and
be prepared to welcome and introduce latecomers at any stage. |
| |
|
At Recess, hand your
Visitor Information Sheet to the President, who may call on the visitors
at the end of the meeting to offer comments. |
