Over the next few months, I am interested in visiting with more of the clubs that use the WordPress for Toastmasters software to share tips on using it more effectively, answer questions, gather requests and suggestions, and perhaps recruit volunteers to help with aspects such as documentation and training.
If you would like to invite me into district events, that would be great, too.
In addition to talking about WordPress for Toastmasters, I can share my experience leading an online club to charter and some of the takeaways from a recent workshop I organized on hybrid clubs.
If you’re interested, write back with dates and times (including timezone) when I can join you via Zoom (or similar) and let me know whether you want me for a 5-7 minute speech or a longer session with Q&A.
Thanks,
David
