Club Officers Training (COT) 1

East Coast Clubs

Venue: Mingstar Hotel

It was the first time that Lekor Toastmasters Club has play host for the Club Officers Training (COT) in the East Coast. Lekor Toastmasters Club's Immediate Past President, Sea Shin Tyun has been eager to be the host this time around as she believes in bringing the benefit of Toastmasters to the people of Kuala Terengganu. The training was held in Mingstar Hotel on the 5^th August, 2012 from 9:15 am till 2 pm.

The COT team consist of Division B Governor Meyyappa, Kak Zaharah Ibrahim, Area B3 Governor Joyce Loh, Area B6 Governor Albert Chua, and Division B East Coast Coordinator Burney Choo. The training was also graced by the presence of Area K1 Governor Karu.

The participating clubs for this COT consist of club officers from Lekor TMC, Kuantan TMC and all the way from Kelantan, Magical Tanah Merah TMC.

COT 1's purpose was to prepare the newly elected Club Officers in their various positions by helping them to understand their roles and responsibilities. However, this COT1 was special. It was not only attended by Club Officers but for the very first time, attended by guests who were not Toastmasters members. One of the guests who attended the training was a singer, Anis Suraya.

Division B3 Governor Meyya started the training with his opening address followed by the session, Charting a Course for Club Success. Subsequently, Kak Zaharah conducted the session on “Motivating Achievement”.

After the break-out session, Div B East Coast Coordinator took the opportunity in his session, “Attracting New Members” to highlight to the guests the many benefits of the Toastmasters program. Following that, Area Governor B3 Joyce Loh explained in details how to do online submission. Division B Governor Meyya conducted a special Evaluation Workshop before concluding the COT training with his closing address.

It has been a successful training with exco members having a much clearer understanding of their roles and responsibilities and with 4 guests signing up as Toastmasters member of Lekor TMC.
