If you are
completely new to Toastmasters there are compelling reasons why you may want
to choose to join a sprouting club.
1.
New
clubs tend to have fewer numbers. Therefore the few members get more speaking
opportunities.
2.
You
get more challenging leadership opportunities and quite early into your
membership.
3.
If
you join a long established club the culture is already set. But in a budding
club you influence the culture of the club.
4.
You
don’t suffer the baggage lag and drag (we have always done this way) trying maintain the culture of an
established club.
5.
Charter
members learn to fend for themselves early as there aren't sufficient mentors
to go round.
6.
You
register your name as a charter member
7.
You
receive your manuals immediately instead of waiting for shipment from TMI
If you are a
seasoned Toastmasters the advantages are
1.
You
can use the new ways of the new club to reignite your Toastmaster journey that
has become dull and predictable.
2.
You
can use the opportunity to further your Education goals by serving as a club
mentor or club sponsor.
