Home | Membership | Open House Meetings

One of the easiest ways to build membership is by Hosting an Open House. The person who chairs the event can even receive Chairperson Component Leadership (CL) manual credit for either Organize & Delegate for organizing a special event or Motivating People for running a membership campaign!
    Here is the simple Open House how-to list:
    • Select an Open House Committee.
    • Choose a specific date at least a month in advance.
    • Use the Open House Checklist to plan the event.
    • Create a flier similar to the one found here or use some of the promotional materials on the Increasing Club Membership page.
    • Post the event in the Club Events Calendar on this web site by sending your flier and information to webmaster@d4tm.org.
    • Invite past members, current members and potential members to attend.
    • Reach out to the District Director of Open Houses (send email) to coordinate special guests from District and surrounding clubs to support the event.
    • Use an abbreviated agenda similar to the one found here to have a one hour meeting.
    • Provide your guests with information about Toastmasters and your club by using the Guest Guide Example or other promotional materials found at Toastmasters International.
    • Celebrate your Open House and have fun!

Remember, this offer is ONLY available to clubs who host an Open House during its anniversary month as recorded by Toastmasters International.
