EDUCATIONAL MOMENT

 

Your assignment is twofold.  You will be giving the club members a chance to learn about or reflect on some aspects of Toastmasters they may not have considered before.  And you will be filling the two minutes it takes the Vote Counter to collect and count the ballots for Best Evaluator and to prepare the corresponding winners certificate!  Your timing is the same as for an evaluator no minimum time, two minutes maximum, with an additional 30 seconds of grace.
