Duties of the General Evaluator

Introduction

As the General Evaluator, you will conduct the evaluation portion of the meeting. Every aspect of the meeting should be evaluated, either by your helpers or by you. You should attempt to do this in a constructive manner with the goal of helping the speakers improve, using Toastmasters evaluation principles. Thus you need to recognize good performance and offer encouragement and suggestions about improvements the speakers might try.

During the Meeting

Go to the lectern when introduced by the Toastmaster.
Introduce the speech evaluators in turn and let them present their evaluations.
Call upon your helpers, specifically the PLG and Ah Counter, for their reports.
Evaluate the entire meeting from the beginning to the end. This includes your comments on how well the meeting was run, did the meeting start on time and stay on schedule, what was your impression on the quality of the unevaluated speakers, and most importantly, you must evaluate the evaluators. In other words, comment on your impression of how well the evaluations were done. You do not have to beat the meeting to death. Also, watch the clock so you do not get behind schedule.
Return control of the lectern to the Toastmaster.
