Suggestions

Toastmasters International encourages clubs to have someone always standing at the lectern during club meetings (except if a prepared speaker or the Table Topics master stands in front of the lectern or wanders around the room a little or perhaps if a Table Topics Master finishes up Table Topics and then we’re giving people time to vote). People done with what they have to do at the lectern should wait for the next person to come up. Except sometimes with the invocation, we should clap during lectern exchanges and the people exchanging the lectern should shake hands with each other.

When serving on the evaluation team, we’ve also traditionally stood when we’re explaining our responsibilities and when we’re presenting our reports. Timers have also turned on the green light, then turned it off and turned on the yellow light, and then turned it off and turned on the red light. In my opinion, there should not be multiple lights on at once.
