Be a Club Sponsor! (Max. 2 per Club)
Are you an enthusiastic, experienced Toastmaster
who has served as a Club Officer and earned at
least a CC? If so, consider becoming a Club
Sponsor to further develop your leadership skills.

What Does a Club Sponsor Do?
A Club Sponsor guides and assists a newly forming
club until it receives its charter. This guidance and
assistance includes the following:
• Show the group interested in forming the Toastmasters Club what they need to do.
Alleviate any remaining doubts they may have.
• Help the group establish regular club meetings.
Fill meeting roles to set an example for club members.
• Assist the group in selecting interim Club
Officers. Ensure that these officers understand
their responsibilities.
• Work with the club to establish ongoing
recruitment efforts.
• Ensure that interim Club Officers understand
the requirements for chartering their club.
• Assist the Club Officers in completing the
charter paperwork.
• Serve as a resource person to the club for any
questions they have about meeting procedures
or Toastmasters guidelines.
• Keep District Officers informed of the club’s
progress. Ask for a Club Mentor as soon as the
club approaches charter strength.

Why Do We Have Club Sponsors?
The District’s mission is to enhance the performance of clubs and extend the network of clubs, thereby offering greater numbers of people the opportunity to benefit from the Toastmasters educational program.
 
. One key role in the club-building process is that of Club Sponsor.
