No organization, much less a voluntary organization like Toastmasters International (TMI) through its many member clubs, could function without a group of people dedicated towards helping their fellow members achieve their goals and aspirations

The GATM Executive Committe, freely elected by the general membership and representing the overall member's interest, is charged with the responsibility of doing just that, within the guidelines of the TMI organization and all club level bylaws that may inluence any action to be undertaken.

Specifically, as stated in the Mission Statement of Glen Abbey Toastmasters, the club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.

Membership to the Club Executive is open to all members in good standing. Prospective incumbents for the various positions are elected by the general membership. Elections take place towards the end of the current season (usually in May) for the next September-to-June season.

As a club member, you are encouraged to run for office and exercise and likely improve your present leadership abilities. It is the responsibility of the 'Past President' to encourage all able members to take on roles of leadership and ensure that several names are put forth for each position.

Additionally, you are encouraged to discuss the benefits derived from acting in this capacity with anymember having held that position in the past.

Your executive represents you and as such is available to you at any time to discuss specific issues, complaints or suggestions you may have. Contact the appropriate individual by clicking on the e-mail contact.
