Meeting Role - Giving the Toast

Toastmasters often present a Toast near the beginning of the meeting to someone or something.  The theme of the meeting normally dictates the nature of the toast. 

Prior to the meeting: 

  • Confirm with the Toastmaster the theme of the meeting
  • Prepare a brief toast, usually a maximum of 2 minutes, and practice it

During the meeting:

  • When introduced, stand up by/behind your chair
  • Deliver the toast,
  • In closing, ask everyone to stand and raise their (imaginary, if such is the case) glass..
