MASTER EVALUATOR
8-10 days before the meeting:
- Contact the Toastmaster to confirm speakers and evaluators
- Contact evaluators and assign experienced evaluators to experienced speakers
- Remind evaluators to call speakers 7 days before the meeting to discuss goals and objectives
- Call the Toastmaster to give him/her the evaluator assignments for the Agenda preparation.
- Forward your 3 – 5 line introduction to the Toastmaster
At the meeting:
- Arrive early (12:00)
- Make sure all speakers and evaluators are present (assign a “last minute” evaluator if necessary). Inform each evaluator they have 3 minutes for their evaluation.
- Be seated near the front - you will return to the lectern after each evaluator.
During the meeting:
- Take notes on everything that happens (or doesn’t, but should) during the meeting, including: timing, room set up, appearances, organization, flow of meeting, Presiding Officer, Toastmaster, Table Topics Master. Give particular attention to the Evaluators
- The Toastmaster will introduce you after the last prepared speech
- Greet the audience, explain you will first introduce the evaluators, and after their evaluations you will evaluate the entire meeting
- Introduce each evaluator as follows: “Now to evaluate Mary Smith, please welcome Joe Silver.”
- Return to the lectern after each evaluator.
- Ask for Timer’s report, tell audience to vote for best evaluation and pass the ballots
Master Evaluation (6 minutes maximum):
- Give your general evaluation of the meeting, evaluating all roles beginning with the fee collector
- Give specific evaluations of the evaluators
- It is not appropriate to direct any of your evaluation towards the prepared speakers. The prepared speeches have already been evaluated in-depth. If an evaluator missed any significant element of a prepared speech, all comments in that regard should be directed to the evaluator, and not the prepared speaker
- If the meeting is running late, save some remarks for individual consultation afterwards.
- Call for UM Counter/Grammarian’s report
- Return lectern to Presiding Officer.
