Rebuilding a Club

If you're reading this, you have made a commitment to help rebuild a Toastmasters club, or you are considering it. Walking into a club in need without preparation can be a difficult experience. You need the desire, the knowledge, the tools, the team, the acceptance, and the support of those whom you are helping.

There are several stages of rebuilding a club. You must understanding why clubs are rebuilt, identify who will do the work and build a club rescue team. District 58 can help by helping you find resources and guiding you to develop an action plan. By following the District recommendations, virtually any experienced Toastmaster can help a club rebuild itself.

Each club is different and therefore has different needs. The members of some clubs desperately want to keep the club going, but don't know how. Some clubs may not still be meeting, and you may need to track down the last members of the club and motivate them to continue with the club. The task before you is challenging - probably the most challenging Toastmasters activity that you will undertake. With your determination and the District's guidance, you can successfully rebuild a club.
