Joe Short presented the Youth Leadership Program that he will be coordinating for high school students this upcoming school year. The Youth Leadership Program is a public speaking program developed by Toastmasters International and sponsored by its local clubs. Joe asked the executive committee if TASC Toastmasters would sponsor the program. The executive committee unanimously agreed to sponsor the program. The approximate cost of the sponsorship is $60. This would cover books and certificates for the youth members. |
The committee asked Joe to provide several updates to the club during the school year of the Youth Leadership program. Joe was also asked to consider using this program as a High Performance Leadership (HPL) project for credit toward his ALS. Suggest that Joe notify us of his HPL decision during next month’s meeting. |

Joe has TASC Toastmaster fliers that promote the TASC Toastmaster club. Joe is going to send the fliers to Tommy Comeau. Tommy will post the fliers in the 15036 Conference Center Drive Building as well as the Westfield Building. Since the club is sponsored by TASC the executive committee felt it wasn’t appropriate to place the fliers in non- Northrop Grumman TASC buildings. |
Joe Short will send Tommy Comeau the TASC Toastmaster promotional fliers. |

Wendy proposed extending the weekly Toastmaster meeting by 15 minutes. By adding the additional time, it would ensure that everyone could complete their speeches and leadership manuals. Lisa expressed concern that the additional 15 minutes would be difficult to make up for those who travel to the meeting from another location. No decision was made and Wendy is going to send an email to the executive committee outlining how the additional time would be spent. |
Wendy will send out an email to the executive committee outlining each segment of the meeting and how the additional time would be spent. |
