General Evaluator

The General Evaluator is responsible for the evaluation portion of the meeting. This includes making sure beforehand that all of the scheduled evaluators will be present. If there are any changes, report them to the Toastmaster of the Day before the meeting begins.

1.   As a General Evaluator, you will call on the evaluator for each speech to begin your portion of the meeting. Make sure to let the audience know whose speech will be evaluated when you introduce the evaluator.

2.   Ask for the Grammarian's report.

3.   Ask for the Timekeeper's report. This should include times for each Table Topic speaker, each main speaker, and each evaluator.

5.   Finally, give your evaluation of the meeting. You may include the following areas:

a.   Did the meeting start on time?

b.   Did the meeting segments stay on time?

c.   Were any agenda positions performs extraordinarily well?

d.   Was the lectern control handled properly?

e.   Where could the meeting be improved?

f.    Evaluate the evaluators. Any praise or recommendations?

6.   Do not simply recall all the events of the meeting. The audience already knows what happened, they are looking for your opinions on what went well and where improvements can be made.

7.   Keep an eye on the time. If there is plenty of time, it is OK to give a lengthy evaluation. If not, keep it short.

8.   After you have completed your evaluation of the meeting, return control of the lectern back to the Toastmaster of the Day.
