Sponsor and mentor help a brand new club.
Club Coach helps a club that is already official and needs help.
What a Club Coach is
A Club Coach helps a weak club that already exists. The club has few members. The coach does not take over. The coach watches, asks, and offers ideas. The club officers decide what to try.
The rules
The club
- Has 1 to 12 paid members when the coach is assigned.
- May have up to two coaches at one time.
The coach
- Is an experienced Toastmaster.
- Is not a member of that club when assigned. May join later.
- Goes to at least half of the meetings.
- Works with the officers. Does not give orders.
What a coach does
Gets to know the officers and members. Watches a few meetings. Finds what is hard: guests, roles, renewals, or the meeting itself. Offers more than one idea. Lets the club pick. Stays until June 30. The district can extend one more year if needed.
What a coach does not do
Does not become president. Does not run the meeting every week. Does not shame the club. Does not start a new club. That is sponsor work.
