SUBJECT: RECEIVE SEMI-ANNUAL UPDATE ON PARTICIPATION IN TALKSICS
TOASTMASTER CLUB
The Board adopted Board Policy No. BP 032 - Reimbursement of Toastmasters Dues in August 2017,
which removed the time limit that previously had been placed on dues reimbursement for participants in
Talksics Toastmasters. This was meant to encourage more Central San employee participation in
Toastmasters to improve public speaking and leadership skills. When the Administration Committee
recommended Board adoption of the policy, it also requested that staff provide semi-annual updates to the
Committee on Toastmaster membership levels. This is the sixth update.
Since the last report on February 18, 2020, Talksics Toastmasters has had a net loss of one member.
One non-Central San employee member did not renew their membership. There are now seven Central
San employee members and one outside member for a total of eight. The minimum number of members
is eight.
Since March 2020, the Club has had no in-person meetings due to the closure of the office. There has
been insufficient interest in conducting or participating in online meetings.
