This menu is related to meetings
This menu is specific to your participation. You can sign up for a meeting, view the speeches that are recorded in EasySpeak for you, view how far you‘ve come in your CL progress, and schedule speeches
This menu focuses on communication. You have the ability to send mass emails to members. This is hand for officers and is good because you don‘t have to know or remember everyone‘s email address.
The "This Club“ menu provides all kinds of reports.
More assortied information.

This box will appear where you can give your speech a title (first tab), designate the workbook that your using and which project/speech it is (second tab), and provide dates when you‘d like to give your speech (third tab). To help the Toastmaster of the Evening, you should provide a title for your speech and you can write up an introduction for them to use when they introduce you.

The Prefered Dates tab allows you to provide 3 dates that would work for you. Remember you indicating with you‘re available, the ultimate decision of how will speak at what meeting is decided between the VP Education, Toastmaster of the Evening, or possibly a different person at your club. This is where speaking slots comes into play. You‘ll notice on August 7th and 21st there were already 3 speeches scheduled, so these might not work for giving this speech. Finally, be sure to click on Save to submit your request.
This is the Goals Chart for the club. You can access if by clicking on Goals Chart, under the This Club menu. You can see that I have a few goals entered into EasySpeak. This is a good way to keep track of your Communication and Leadership goals for the TM year. As you‘ve done a speech it shows up here under your goals. EasySpeak calculates the number of weeks between your speeches that you have based on the date you enter for your goal, so it is easy to see if you‘re on track or not.
Here you can see the dates that I have for my TM goals, how many projects are in that particular goal, how many I‘ve done, and how many remain. You can also see the number of planned weeks between projects, the actual, and the remaining. To set up a new goal, click on the +.
You need to select Communication Goals or Leadership Goals in the box that will pop up.
These are Communication Goals that you can select. Complete the completion date (your target date) and save.
You can get to this screen by clicking on the View my Speech Progress on the left side under My Particiation. Here you can see speeches that I‘ve requested, as well as where I am in completing my goals.
