Welcome from Division Director 2019/2020Dear Club Officers,
Welcome to the Central Division team. Congratulations and thank you for being willing

surrounded by experienced Toastmasters who have served before you and have
overcome similar challenges. Regular training events and plenty of online resources will

Collaborate with your teams, serve your clubs, deal with each other kindly and be an
inspiration to the current and future leaders of Central Division.
This quick reference guide contains key dates, contact details and online links as well
as vital information to help you understand various aspects of Toastmasters and to plan

Suggested induction ceremonyThe initial events experienced by new members play a significant role in the development of their long-term impressions about your club and the organisation. The induction ceremony is the first andpossibly the most important event a new member will experience.
If you are conducting the induction ceremony, it is your responsibility to speak with the new member/sprior to the evening to ensure that they are aware of the induction and the roles of the mentor/s. It isalso a good idea to speak with some of your fellow experienced members on the important role ofbeing a mentor. The following is a very formal induction and strictly a guide only; it may be changed tosuit your club’s ethos.
Mr / Madam Toastmaster, Fellow Toastmasters and Guests,
