 About the Beijing Advanced
Speakers Club
The Beijing
Advanced Speakers Club was founded in March 2007 as the first
Advanced Speakers Toastmasters Club in the People's Republic of China.
Membership in the club is drawn from the Clubs in Beijing and other cities in
China. The club meets every month on the 2nd
Saturday from 3 - 5 pm in the 3rd Floor Conference Room of the
ConocoPhillips (China) offices located at 11F Hyundai Motor Tower, No. 38
Xiaoyun Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100027 (北京朝阳区霄云路38号，现代汽车大厦3层).
Members may give project speeches to complete their Competent
Communicator award or from
any of the Advanced Communications manuals. As some of these projects
require more time than is available in a normal club's meeting schedule
(projects vary in length fro as little as three minutes to over forty minutes in
length), the Advanced Speakers Club offers the members working in these manuals
a venue to deliver the longer projects. In addition, since effective
evaluations of Advanced projects requires more time than can be allotted in a
normal meeting, the Advanced Club uses longer evaluations for projects that are
based upon the time guidelines of the speech -- some as long as ten minutes.
Each speaker is also provided with an detailed evaluation form from every member
that attends the meeting so that they can receive as much feedback on their
presentation as possible.
Many of our Members maintain membership in
their home clubs (clubs within District 85 - People's Republic of China)
so that they can continue to serve as leaders and mentors to the members of
their home clubs. Educational Awards earned through participation in the
Advanced Speakers Club are to be credited to their home clubs to assist these
clubs in the Toastmasters International Distinguished Club Program.
Membership in the club is open to any member of a Toastmasters Club in North
China that can attend our meetings and that has completed at least seven of the
assignments in the Competent Communications Manual or has completed this manual
or is currently working towards completing Advanced Communicator projects.
Guests from other Toastmasters Clubs are always welcome at our monthly meetings.
However, due to the limited number of meetings per year for the club,
guests are not allowed to give presentations in the club.
