PROTOCOL
for TOASTMASTERS MEETINGS
ADDRESSES
 |
Always address the
person who introduces you
(ie. Mr./Mme. Chairman, Toastmaster, Table Topic Master)
and the audience. |
|
|
When: As soon as your
Introducer is seated, or very close to the beginning of
your presentation. |
CLAPPING
|
|
Who: The person in charge of the meeting at the
time always leads the clapping. |
|
|
When: As soon as the Introduction is finished
and it is time for the person who has been introduced to
come to the lectern. |
|
|
As soon
as the Speaker has finished, the Introducer begins to
clap and hurries to the lectern to shake the Speaker’s
hand. |
|
|
How long: Clap from the time the person has been
introduced until he/she is about to shake hands with the Introducer. |
MOVEMENT
To the lectern: Anticipate when your turn is coming and then get
up and walk quickly to the lectern as soon as you have been
introduced.
Away from the lectern: Both Introducer and Speaker should be
aware of not walking in front of or behind each other whenever
possible.
THE LECTERN (Stand behind a lectern and on a podium)
NEVER leave the lectern empty. Whoever is standing at it at the
time, waits directly behind it until he/she shakes hands and is
ready to leave.
- * When more informally speaking to the audience in front of
the lectern, be sure to move back behind it when finished, ready
to shake hands.
