Explanation of Duties

Please keep in mind that these descriptions are the "ideal," so be prepared and ready to reduce the duties of each to a manageable level. You should be able to perform your duties comfortably, so prioritize if you have to and cut down to the essentials.

You should also feel free to add a little something extra or try something new. Toastmasters is the place to be creative and experiment; if your experiment succeeds, good for you. If it doesn't turn out the way you had hoped, at least you learned something and no harm was done.
