Club Secretary
For the term of July to Dec 2025, Hosur toastmasters club.
💼 Leadership Beyond the Stage
Toastmasters is not just about public speaking — it's about leadership in action. Every club functions like a mini-organization, and behind the polished speeches and energetic evaluations lies a committed team of volunteers running the show.
Taking up a club leadership role isn’t just service — it's hands-on leadership experience that sharpens your planning, communication, delegation, and conflict-resolution skills.
✍️ The Role of the Club Secretary
Among the seven club officer roles, the Secretary is often the silent engine — ensuring the club’s records are clear, communication is consistent, and the club runs smoothly.
📌 Key Responsibilities:
- Maintaining meeting minutes and key decisions
- Updating club records and member info on Toastmasters International portal
- Coordinating with the President and VP Education for scheduling and reporting
- Managing official correspondence and documentation
Think of the Secretary as the right-hand to the President, and the memory keeper of the club.

🌱 Why You Should Consider a Leadership Role
If you're a Toastmaster and haven't yet served in a leadership role, you're missing out on the other half of the growth journey.
Leadership at the club level teaches you:
- How to run meetings that don’t waste time
- How to work with diverse personalities
- How to lead without a title (but with impact)
And unlike the corporate world, Toastmasters gives you the freedom to fail safely and improve fast.
So the next time officer nominations come up — raise your hand.
Speak, lead, learn, repeat.
