Do you know the truth when you hear it? As it relates to Toastmasters, there are several interpretations of what clubs are required and not required to do, and many of them are just plain false. Below are the five most common club myths and their corrected/true policies.

MYTH 1: Clubs do not have to vote in all new members.

REALITY: Toastmasters clubs are private associations that conduct membership by invitation only. All members, whether they're new, dual, reinstating, or transferring, need to be voted into the club before their membership can be added. The vote determines whether their membership will be approved, which means a new member may or may not be accepted.

MYTH 2: If the club did not vote a member in, the club cannot vote a member out.

REALITY: If a member was not voted in, they can still be removed by the club by following Protocol 3.0. This is how club officers can remove a disruptive member from the club.

MYTH 3: Club officers have the authority to change how a club operates.

REALITY: While club officers can recommend changes to their clubs, such as meeting times or locations, the changes must be passed by club members in a club meeting where a quorum is present.

MYTH 4: Clubs are required to participate in the Distinguished Club Program (DCP).

REALITY: Although every club should want to participate in the DCP as it highlights target goals that foster a quality club environment, the DCP is optional, and there is no participation requirement.

MYTH 5: Membership Applications aren't required in all instances.

REALITY: Clubs need to complete a membership application for every new, dual, reinstating, or transfer member that joins and keep the signed applications on file indefinitely—even if the member is no longer with the club.

It is with heavy hearts that we share our condolences for the passing of Tim Halderson.
The Toastmasters family is incredible - and the impact Tim had on many in our family was large. Tim was instrumental in the creation of Rockland Toastmasters, was an incredible supporter to the Blackburn Toastmasters Club, and most recently a past member of Advanced Speakers Club. He was revered for his support to his club members, his willingness to be a club officer, and his on going support to District 61 Leaders.
We know he will be remembered with fond memories and joy, and cannot imagine the heartache felt by his fellow members, our sympathies to you, his family, and friends.

C'est avec le cœur lourd que nous partageons nos condoléances pour le décès de Tim Halderson.
La famille Toastmasters est incroyable - et l'impact que Tim a eu sur plusieurs membres de notre famille a été considérable. Tim a joué un rôle déterminant dans la création de Rockland Toastmasters, a apporté un soutien incroyable au Blackburn Toastmasters Club et, plus récemment, a été membre du Advanced Speakers Club. Il était vénéré pour son soutien aux membres de son club, sa volonté d'être un officier de club, et son soutien continu aux dirigeants du District 61.
Nous savons qu'il restera dans les mémoires avec de bons souvenirs et de la joie, et nous ne pouvons pas imaginer le chagrin ressenti par ses collègues membres. Nous présentons nos condoléances à sa famille, à ses amis et à ses collègues Toastmasters.
