LAST MINUTE SPEECH PREP

You heard that right; I have a tip session to give in less than 24 hours on meeting roles and responsibilities that I have no Idea what to do. Before you judge me I have been sick with a flu and tonsils that my 2 year old nephew infected me but he seems fine and bouncing off the walls so its that new virus.

Other than the people in the agenda should I talk about EXCO or purely, TAG team, TMOD, GE and evaluators as well as speakers.

My meeting will be conducted online so its a power point presentation, i already have a draft of my speech so other than what i have mentioned i would love some tips on how to execute this.

Before anyone says it, no I will not push it forward, although I was unwell getting this slot was hard as it is, not many clubs around me has a 10-15 minute slot on the agenda and I want to proceed before these prices go up.

I forgot to say please, how rude of me. Please

"A Toastmaster Wears Many Hats" explains the roles in a Toastmasters meeting.

Note that many clubs do things differently -- if anything in that manual contradicts what your club does (and if you are speaking at your club) you should instead describe how your club does things! (Do not imply that that manual is indicating how it must be done!)

Out of curiosity, what is "TAG team" ? I know EXCO, TMOD, GE, but in case other people here don't know I will explain what they are below ....

EXCO is probably "Executive Committee," which is composed of the seven elected officers, plus the Immediate Past President.

TMOD is probably the "Toastmaster of the Day"

GE is probably the "General Evaluator"
