Timer

• When called on to explain the Timer role at the beginning of a meeting, you should include the following:

  • Table Topics are 2 minutes.

  • Evaluations are 3 minutes.

  • Speeches are normally 7 minutes, but may be longer.

  • When there is 2 minutes left, the green card is shown

  • When there is 1 minute left, the yellow card is shown

  • When their time is up, the red card is shown

  • There is a 30 second 'grace' period after the red light comes on. After that, you can hit the bell.

  • NOTE: No bell for ice breaker speeches only

  • There is no fine if you speak too long or not long enough.

  • At the end of the meeting, you will give your report

• At the end of the meeting, you will need to give a report of the allocated and used time for each speaker, TT, and Evaluator (including the GE).

• Start the timer as soon as the speaker begins their presentation.

• Ask the Sergeant At Arms for the colored "timing cards" if you don't see them.
