When inducting new members into a club, I like to have the whole club recite the Toastmasters Promise along with the new member. It makes it more of a formal induction, in my opinion.
Toastmasters Promise
As a member of
Toastmasters International and my club, I promise:
·
To attend club meetings
regularly
·
To prepare all of my
speech and leadership projects to the best of my ability, basing them on
projects in the Competent Communication, Advanced Communication, or Competent
Leadership manuals
·
To prepare for and
fulfill meeting assignments
·
To provide fellow members
with helpful, constructive evaluations
·
To help the club maintain
the positive, friendly environment necessary for all members to learn and grow
·
To serve my club as an
officer when called upon to do so
·
To treat my fellow club
members and our guests with respect and courtesy
·
To bring guests to club
meetings so they can see the benefits Toastmasters membership offers
·
To adhere to the
guidelines and rules for all Toastmasters education and recognition programs
·
To maintain honest and
highly ethical standards during the conduct of all Toastmasters activities
