This week I had the role of Toastmaster. My theme was "Time". It is close to DST. Without the recent change in Daylight Saving Time we would change the clocks this Sunday. The theme seemed appropriate and gave me the chance to try out an agenda idea.

I wanted to create the agenda in the shape of a clock. Our meetings are 1 hour long, so I could show the amount of time for each of the roles easily.

Here is a PDF of the agenda and a template in PowerPoint 2007 format. I started to do the agenda in Word 2007, but did not find a way to rotate text to arbitrary angles. PowerPoint was able to do that with ease. I guess you can do a lot more than bullet points in PowerPoint!

If you use this agenda, please let me know. I would also be glad to host other creative agendas people have created. Send me a note on the contact page.

Update:

By request, I have included a PowerPoint 2003 compatible version of the template in the download.

Help on the PPTX Template Doug Stevens (Unregistered) 2008-03-14 07:54:35 I was unable to use the link to save the template. Can you direct me to a source that will use the downloaded zip file (from the link in your article) and the "how to" incorporate in PowerPoint 2007? Thank you, Doug Reply

Engineer Gill Castle (Unregistered) 2008-09-23 07:25:54 Hi, I am the Toastmaster for our clubs meeting tomarrow. I wanted to do my theme on Time. Therefore I came across your templete and thought it would be a great visual aid. However, I have an older version of Power Point and can't edit it. Is it posible for you to send me a version that I can edit? Thanks, Gill Reply

Updated download John (Unregistered) 2008-09-23 14:18:10 Gill, I updated the zip file to include a PowerPoint 2003 compatible file. It may not be quite as fully functional, but should be usable. Hope this helps. John. Reply
