I’m ready to present a speech. How do I get on the agenda?
You can do two things:
- Use the EasySpeak system to request a speech.
All members are registered in this system, which Toastmasters clubs in District 59 (Europe) use to manage their agendas and other club information. Click Request a Speech under My Participation (on the left side). Fill in the details on each tab (the title can wait) and click Save.
Do this for each speech that you want to request. You are welcome to request several speeches in advance, if you are the sort of person who likes to plan ahead.
Don’t know your user name or password? Send an email to your Vice President Education at vpe@sitm.se. - Simply email your request to your VPE (see above).
After you submit your request, the club’s VPE (or other member managing the agenda) will add your speech to a meeting agenda.
Tip: Request speeches well in advance. Sometimes the meetings are booked up a couple of months ahead.
You will receive an automated reminder in good time before the meeting (at least six days but normally about ten days before the meeting).
How do I know when my speech has been scheduled?
In EasySpeak, click View My Speech Progress under My Participation (on the left side). This will show you all the speeches that you are scheduled to present, as well as those you requested using EasySpeak and those you already presented.
How can I get a mentor or become a mentor?
Send an email to your Vice President Membership at vpm@sitm.se. If you have a specific person in mind as your mentor or mentee, say so in your email but also be aware that not all such requests can be met.
How can I sign up for a role at a meeting?
There are two ways to do this:
- In EasySpeak, natigate to a meeting page using the Meetings menu along the top. Accept a role by clicking yes next to the name of the role.
- Email your Vice President Education at vpe@sitm.se.
You will receive an automated reminder in good time before the meeting (at least six days but normally about ten days before the meeting).
I want to participate in a club contest. How do I sign up?
You must email the member who is organizing the contest. If you don’t know who that is, email your Vice President Education at vpe@sitm.se.)
