General Evaluator Meeting Role

· After taking control of the lectern, acknowledge your introducer and the audience. “Distinguished Toastmaster, fellow Toastmasters and welcome guests, evaluation is meant to be a positive experience designed to help people overcome weak habits and add power to existing successful skills. The evaluator's highest goal is to benefit the speaker so that he or she wants to speak again; with insight on what might be improved upon next time.”

What items do evaluators look for in a speech? The manual guides the evaluator to the relevant points for the speech project the speaker is working to accomplish.

· Introduce and thank each evaluator. (Do not praise, comment on, judge, or influence the audience on the evaluations, the club will vote for the “best”.)

Critical listening, preparing an almost impromptu response with focus on objectives and effective communication is the task of the evaluator. It is through evaluations that members, and the club itself, can improve skills.

· Ask for Timer's report on Evaluators. Call for a vote.

· Call for Ah Counter's report and Grammarian's report. (Call on the Grammarian last, giving as much opportunity for members to use the Word of the Day as possible.)

· Give a 2-3 minute overall Meeting Evaluation. During the meeting, note the timing, any glitches, exemplary behavior, atmosphere, decorum, and general flow.

· Return meeting control to the Toastmaster. “Please join me in welcoming back to the lectern our Toastmaster.”
