Club Ambassador Program

The Club Ambassador Program is an optional program that districts can implement to help grow member confidence and club strength by encouraging members to visit and participate in clubs outside of their own. The 2022-2023 Toastmaster year is the first year for the Club Ambassador program in District 6.

For individuals, visiting other clubs provides an opportunity to explore other Toastmasters environments and gain new experiences and speaking opportunities. For clubs, hosting a Club Ambassador can energize meetings and share new ideas and viewpoints with its own members.

The member decides they want to be a Club Ambassador and chooses a club to visit. The member then contacts the club and arranges the visit. The Club Ambassador should make a comment at the end of the meeting and may fill a meeting role if there is room on the agenda. Club visits can be in person or on-line depending on the format of the club you visit. 

After the visit, the Club Ambassador will submit a report of their visit. It will include observations of things that were done well and potentials for club improvement. Feedback will be shared with the club so the club may improve their meetings. The Ambassador can take ideas they get from their visit back to their own club to improve the Ambassador’s home club as well!

Benefits for the Club Ambassador

• Gain confidence from speaking in front of an unfamiliar audience.
• Expand your Toastmaster experience by meeting new Toastmasters and seeing how a different club runs their meetings.
• Get new ideas to bring back to your home club

Benefits for the Host Club

• Energize your club by having a visitor who is an experienced Toastmaster.
• Get feedback from an experienced Toastmaster on your club experience.
• Have a meeting role or speaker role filled by visiting Club Ambassador.
• Exchange ideas to learn something new.
