Todd Austin served as the evening’s Toastmaster (or master of ceremonies). Bill Fulstick served as the Tabletopicmaster for only his second time as a club member, coordinating the impromptu speaking portion of the program. During tabletopics, each participant gave a 1 to 2 minute impromptu response to a different question.
The evening’s prepared speaker was Jim Blankenship of New Berlin. Blankenship performed project # 9 from the Basic Toastmasters Communication manual on giving a speech that employs persuasion. His presentation was entitled “The 2 Types of Financial Advisors”. Blankenship’s main point was that the 2 different types of financial advisors are held to two different standards: the fiduciary standard vs. the suitability standard. Todd Austin evaluated Blankenship’s speech.
