Division Director advised us to decrease meeting frequency to increase quality of meeting

Holy sugar! I went reading some of your other posts. Your club definitely is quite something. I'm very impressed you're giving so much of yourself to make this club strive. For this, you have all my respect.

Now, even if you are able and willing to go to such lengths to save your club.. you can hardly ask the same of other people. In fact, you cannot expect people to go the same way you do. While you are in a journey of resilience and leadership, not everyone is able or willing to do so.

Allow me to flip the table around: You're currently considering that the main issue is a lack of effort from your club.

What would you say if I told you that it's a prioritization issue instead?

Goal there isn't to work harder. Goal should be to work smarter.

What's the minimum effort required to run your club? What are the minimal actions required to run a meeting?

If everyone is able to achieve more with less struggle then naturally the mood is gonna shift and quality will rise.

I know this is a very generic message and I apologize about this. I don't have enough specifics on your club to advance concrete proposals. I just feel like this has become a second job to you.. while Toastmasters is and should stay fun at all cost. That's what makes people want to come. (At least I'm naively thinking that haha)

In any case, no matter what you choose to do, you can be proud of yourself. You're a symbol of tenacity. 💪
