| - The main duty of the VPE is to educate, encourage and retain club members. Others say that VPE is the ultimate club mentor as well as the second highest officer on the executive board. Not only does the VPE have to promote the Toastmasters International Education Program (both communication and leadership), but the VPE must also do a large chunk of meeting organization. Toastmasters International describes the role...
* “The office of Vice President Education is a critical office in a Toastmasters club. The Toastmasters educational program is the heart of our organisation and it’s through the work of the Vice President Education that the mission of the club is accomplished. As Vice President Education, you are responsible for providing and maintaining the positive environment and the programs through which members can develop their communication skills. With learning opportunities, dynamic meeting programs, and a friendly atmosphere, your club will have satisfied members and continue to grow. Your efforts also help the club become a Distinguished Club, which should be an annual goal.” [“When You Are the Vice President Education”, Toastmasters International] Some of the specific duties of the VPE are:
* creating the meeting schedule for speakers, evaluators and other roles
* encourage members to work on advanced manuals and projects
* running a mentor program: assign and supervise
* setting goals with members
* conducting training for membership
* act as right hand to club president when setting up and implimenting a club success plan
* keep track of the club's Distinguished Club Program status
* sign off on members award applications and speeches
