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.
