This page explains the role of the Timekeeper at a Toastmasters meeting.

Duties

The Timekeeper times all portions of a Toastmasters meeting, starting with the meeting opening, through to the close of the meeting.

Being a timekeeper requires alertness and the ability to follow instructions.

As timekeeper, you will operate the timing lights or timing cards to show each speaker how they are doing against their stated time objectives.

When you arrive at a Toastmasters meeting, it is important to confirm the timings with each speaker, and ensure you can operate the timing lights/card and stopwatch correctly.

At the end of the meeting, the Timekeeper may give a verbal report to the meeting on whether all participants met their speech time objectives.

Resources

Refer to the Competent Communication manual page 65 for specific instructions on how to fulfil the Timekeeper's Role.

Credits

The Timekeeper role fulfils Competent Leadership Project 4 - Time Management.
