Sergeant At Arms

The Sergeant at arms keep track of the club’s physical property, such as the banner, lectern, timing device, and other meeting materials. They arrive early to prepare the meeting place for members, and stay late to stow all of the club’s equipment. They are also in charge of the meeting place itself, obtaining a new space when necessary, and maintaining contact with the people who allow the club to use the space for club meetings. The sergeant at arms also has a role to play during business meetings, speech contests, and other special club events. For example, the sergeant at arms escorts potential new members outside of the club’s meeting place while the members vote on admitting them to the club. The sergeant at arms stands at the door while contestants compete in speech contests to ensure that the speaker is not interrupted by latecomers. Stay current on all new developments via The Leader Letter and the announcements published on the Toastmasters website.
