Officer Terms
Each July, the club elects new officers. No matter where you are in your career, or what field you are in, being an officer of your club is one of the best ways to get the most out of your experience in Toastmasters while serving others. The success of the club is based on those who put in time to assess, plan, administer, and guide the membership forward to meet their goals, and maintain and grow the club for future members.
