Our VP Education, Ms Wiki Aguas completed the Moments of (second half) Truth on August 19th. Members of the club were split into three groups; each group evaluates two areas that TI deems as crucial in influencing members and potential members.
The ratings on each of the six critical areas that influence our members or potential members are:
1. First impressions - 4 over 6
2. Membership orientation - 4 over 6
3. Fellowship, variety and communication - 5.5 over 6
4. Program planning and meeting organization - 5.5 over 6
5. Membership strength - 4 over 6
6. Achievement recognition - 6 over 6
The minimum ratings for each of the six critical areas are 4 out of 6 for our club, as evaluated by our members. Based on this evaluation, our club is in a good standing according to the Moments of Truth manual. However, given that we are evaluating ourselves, there is a high possibility of bias and rating leniency. We should probably give ourselves a pat on the shoulder, then move on to the recommendations that our club members suggested. Following are a few highlights that the club officers had decided to implement:
1. End on time.
2. Every first Tuesday of the month, Toastmaster presents a program from The Better Speaker Series/Better Club Series/Leadership Excellence Series. This is to provide more opportunities for members to enhance their speaking skills beyond the basic manuals and evaluations.
3. Notes and phone calls made to visitors and prospective members (standardize this practice).
