Completion requirements
While this role is almost always taken by an officer, it is still an integral part of the meeting that needs to be done well. Here's how.
1. What is the Presiding Officer?
The presiding officer is a role usually held by the president of the club. They open and close the meeting, conducting announcements and club business in the process, and hand off the meeting to the Toastmaster for the majority of the time. If the president isn't available, the highest ranking officer will fill the role.
Doing this role is good speaking practice.
