This project is designed to help you develop realistic plans to meet your objectives and to successfully monitor a project to completion.

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to practice developing a plan and bringing that plan to fruition.

Overview: Select any small-scale project, such as a family party, a short trip, a themed Toastmasters meeting, or any other event or project that requires planning. Develop and implement the plan, with or without help from others. At a club meeting, deliver a 2- to 3-minute report or a 5- to 7-minute speech about your experience. Submit the Project Completion Form to your vice president education to confirm you completed all planning resources.

• Developing and implementing a plan for a small-scale project

This project is designed to help you accomplish a task while leading a small group and give you the opportunity to practice basic skills of leadership.

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to lead a small team to the completion of a project.

Overview: Build a team of two to four people and lead your team to the completion of a project of your design. After you accomplish the project, present a 5- to 7-minute speech about you or your experience leading your team. Your speech may be humorous, informational, or any other format that appeals to you. Your project can be any of the following (coordinate with your vice presidents marketing and public relations):

• A club-specific project, such as hosting an open house, organizing a speech contest, or coordinating a membership-building campaign.
• A non-Toastmasters specific project that helps the greater good, such as organizing volunteers for a charity, collecting food for community members in need, etc. (Keep in mind that you’re doing this as a private individual and not in the name of Toastmasters.)
• A work-related group or team project.
