Coach

While all South County Toastmasters will be supporting your self-improvement efforts, your Coach is your primary resource person. Your Coach is to encourage and help you as a new Toastmaster and is your personal link with the club. Ask your Coach about club policies, meeting roles, and educational objectives. It is your Coach's responsibility to help you prepare to speak and to understand the workings of the club.
