Welcome Cory Mike and Adrienne our newly inducted Igniters Members!!!


Congratulations to our newly inducted Igniters Members!

Left to right: Cory,  Mike,  and Adrienne were welcomed to our club by Ksenija our VP Membership.  

We enjoyed getting to know more about each of them, and they committed to the "Toastmasters Promise" and the existing Igniters Club members pledged to support them in their quest for self-development. Please note the Induction Ceremony and "A Toastmaster's Promise" included below. 



Inducting Officer:         (Call all new members to front of room.)

Being a Toastmaster means more than simply making a commitment to self-development. Everyone who joins a Toastmasters Club is making a commitment to the Club, to its members, and to the organization as a whole. What do you pledge to the Igniters Toastmasters Club?

New Members:             (together say “A Toastmaster’s Promise”)

As a member of Toastmasters International and the Igniters Toastmasters Club, I promise:
  • To attend Club meetings regularly;
  • To prepare all of my speeches to the best of my ability, basing them on projects in the Competent Communication and Competent Leadership manuals or the Advanced Communication and Leadership Program manuals;
  • To willingly prepare for and fulfill meeting assignments;
  • To provide fellow members with helpful, constructive evaluations;
  • To help the Club maintain the positive, friendly environment necessary for all members to learn and grow;
  • To willingly serve my Club as an officer when called upon to do so;
  • To treat my fellow Club members and our guests with respect and courtesy;
  • To bring guests to Club meetings so they can see the benefits Toastmasters membership offers;
  • To adhere to the guidelines and rules for all Toastmasters educational and recognition programs; and
  • To maintain honest and highly ethical standards during the conduct of all Toastmasters activities.

Inducting Officer:
 
These new members have pledged to be full participants in Igniters Toastmasters Club. What do you, the members of Igniters Toastmasters Club, pledge to them?


Club Members:             (Stand and repeat our Club’s pledge to its new members):

We, the members of the Igniters Toastmasters Club, pledge to support you in your quest for self-development; to provide you with positive, helpful evaluations; to maintain a friendly, supportive atmosphere; to give you opportunities to help others; and to make your Toastmasters membership a rewarding and fulfilling experience.
 

Inducting Officer:
Hand each a Toastmasters membership certificate. Lead applause, and then ask new members to return to their seats.
