AREA AND DIVISION

GOVERNOR TRAINING

INTRODUCTION

The club is the heart of the Toastmasters program. It provides the environment and support

members need to develop their communication and leadership skills.

Area governors work for the districts by taking responsibility for the well-being of all clubs

assigned to their areas. As district leaders, division governors strengthen this network by offering

support and guidance to area governors. Effective area governors encourage club growth and

division success.

As clubs, areas, and divisions all strive to become distinguished, training provides area and

division governors with important information:

How to identify goals to successfully serve clubs and members

What makes an area successfulWhat makes a division successful

What the Distinguished Area and Distinguished Division Program goals are

How to recognize the elements of a successful club

What the components of the Distinguished Club Program are

How to develop a performance plan based on the goals of the Distinguished programs

The cornerstone of a good training session is preparation. A good presenter of a division governor

training session is familiar with the District Leadership Handbook(Item 222) and the Distinguished

Area and Distinguished Division Program brochure (Item 1481). Both of these items are available

online at wwwtoastmastersorg/shop.

Training does not end with the training session. It is a process that continues throughout a

leaders term. Let your trainees know the district governor, lieutenant governor education and

training, and lieutenant governor marketing are all available to help if questions arise during their

year in office.

CONDUCTING THE SESSION

Successful division and area governors achieve their goals by involving others. This session teaches

leaders how to build a team and how to effectively use division and area councils. This product

consists of four parts:

Definition and explanation of the session

A training outline

A PowerPoint presentation to be viewed along with the session

Handouts for distribution

KEEP TRAINING FOCUSED ON THE DISTRICT MISSION

Toastmasters International publishes several training sessions for division and area governors

covering fundamentals for success. Each training program takes an adult-learning approach for

discussion and offers practical exercises and case studies.


5/38


All division and area governor training must incorporate the core content of the training sessions

available on the Toastmasters International Web site at wwwtoastmastersorg/trainingmaterials:

Becoming Distinguished(Item 218A). This session covers area and division governor standards

and the Distinguished Division, Area, and Club programs.

Maintaining Strong Clubs (Item 218B). Building membership is fundamental to keeping clubs

and having a net club gain. This session addresses membership building and effective area

club visits.

Building New Clubs (Item 218C). To become a Presidents Distinguished Division or a

Presidents Distinguished Area requires a net gain of one club. This session teaches district

leaders the basics of club building.

Build a Successful Team (Item 218D). Successful division and area governors achieve their goals

by involving others. This session teaches leaders how to build a team and how to effectively

use division and area councils.

Conducting Quality Speech Contests (Item 218E). The area speech contest is one of the district

events in which most clubs participate. This session provides instruction, exercises, and a

checklist to smoothly run a contest.

In Your Own Word

The outline is not a script and should not be read word-or-word Instead, use

the document as a guide or presenting the material with your own narrative

style This training may be modifed by each district as necessary

USING VISUAL AIDS AND HANDOUTS EFFECTIVELY

Visual aids and handouts add interest and help your audience retain information. You are encour-

aged to use them. If you plan to use the PowerPoint slides for this program as visual aids, you will

need a data projector, a laptop computer, a table to support them, and a screen for viewing. In the

presenters outline, in the right-hand column, are indications for placement of the PowerPoint slides.

Each is numbered. Please note that the first slide in the PowerPoint show is a title slide and is not

included in this numbering system.

If you cannot arrange for projection equipment but still would like to use visuals, you may copy

the material onto a flipchart. Do this before the presentation. Use a heavy marking pen that does

not seep through the paper, and write on every third or fourth page so succeeding visuals will not

show through. Also, make your letters large and heavy with plenty of space between them.

Follow these tips when using visual aids:

Set them up and test them before the meeting begins. Place them so they are easily visibleto the audience. Place your projector so it projects a large, high, undistorted image on the

screen. Focus the image.

Bring spare equipment, such as a projector bulb, extension cord, and extra marking pens.

Display your visuals only when they are needed. If you are using a flipchart, flip the page back

out of view when you are finished with it.

Remember not to stand between the screen or flipchart and your audience or you will block

their view.


6/38


Maintain eye contact with your listeners. Do not talk to the screen or flipchart. If you must turn

your back to point out something, pause as you point it out, and then resume speaking only

when facing your audience again.

HOW TO USE THE SESSION OUTLINE

The total time or this session is 45 to 60 minutes. Careful attention to time is essential.In preparing for the session, keep two things in mind:

1. Fit your planned discussion into the time allocation for each subject.

2. Allow ample time for group discussion and participation.

Interspersed throughout the outline are boxed segments. These are explicit explanations and

guidelines for conducting group exercises and portions of the presentation material. In the

right-hand column are keys to visuals aids, handouts, and space for you to make notations.

Trainer:

Welcome, mention training length, location o restrooms, ask or cell phones tobe silenced, etc Remember, time is precious and must be controlled careully

Becoming a successful area governor or division governor is not just about individual accomplish-

ment. It starts with you, but you cannot be successful alone. You must build and lead a team. Area

governors must build a successful team through their area council. Likewise, division governors

must build a successful team through their division councils. However, quality teams do not develop

overnight. As any experienced leader will agree, it is unrealistic to bring a group of people together,

tell them what you want, then expect instantaneous teamwork.

SESSION OBJECTIVES

Identify the districts mission and the organizations vision.

Identify the qualities of a great team.

Identify who is on the area and division team and discuss their responsibilities

and expectations.

Determine how to make area and division council meetings effective and fun.

Motivate team members.

Develop future leaders.

FOCUS ON THE MISSION

Every team must have a purpose. Area or division teams are part of the district team and have one

purpose: to achieve the district mission.

The district mission is to enhance performance and extend network of clubs, offering greater

numbers of people opportunity to benefit from the TI educational program.

Focus on success factors specified by district educational and membership goals.

Ensure each club fulfills its responsibility to its members.

Provide effective training and leadership development opportunities to club and

district leaders.

A SUCCESSFUL TEAM NEEDS A VISION

As a member of the Toastmasters International team of district leaders, you are helping to make the

Toastmasters International vision a reality:

Toastmasters International empowers people to achieve their full potential and

realize their dreams. Through our member clubs, people throughout the world can

improve their communication and leadership skills, and f ind the courage to change.

All area and division teams should focus on becoming a Presidents Distinguished Area or

or division Allow fve minutes or discussion

Successful area and division governors know that much more can be accomplished working with

a team than by working alone. And once other Toastmasters realize how much of a difference

they can makenot just toward the success of an area or division, but toward their own learning

experiencethey will seize the opportunity to help their area or division become Distinguished.

Building an effective area or division team means that members need to have the qualities of a

successful team:
