  1. Welcome Secretaries! Reality check! I wish it was like this.

  2. SECRETARY: I am the club’s primary note-taker and record-keeper. I manageclub files, handle club correspondence, and take the minutes at each club meeting and each executive committee meeting. I am also in charge of updating and distributing a roster of the current paid membership, and keeping the club officer list current at World Headquarters. (Though some clubs combine the secretary role with the treasurer, it’s best to have a dedicated secretary who can help reduce the workload of the treasurer and occasionally lend a hand to the vice president education as well.) I will stay current on all new developments via the Leader Letter and the announcementspublished on the Toastmasters website. I will order supplies for the club as needed. www.Toastmasters.org/LeaderLetter
