There are many things your club can do to attract new members. This portion of the web site provides ideas and resources that can help keep your membership at a healthy level - 20 members or more, with at least 15 attending meetings. Sometimes it's as simple as asking your club's members to invite guests to a special meeting. An experienced member should be the Toastmaster of the day. The advanced speaker shows what Toastmasters can do, and the beginning speaker shows that all levels of speaking proficiency co-exist within the club.
Many clubs also conduct organized membership building contests.
These programs usually involve points for participation in the program and rewards for those achieving the objectives. Toastmasters International has created sample programs of this type that you may wish to conduct in your club. Printed versions are available free of charge from Toastmasters International when you place a supply order. The downloadable documents on this page are in Adobe Acrobat format.
