D CHALLENGES
1. Lack of commitment from members who pay their dues, take on roles but do not show up for meetings or never attend meetings at all.2. Paid members who suddenly have major changes in their work/family schedules that would enable them to fulfill their duties as a club executive and totally give up not just their elected position as well as their toastmaster membership.3. Corporate Toastmaster clubs without the support of management have difficulty in letting the members attend regular toastmaster meetings due to work time restrictions imposed by management.4. Strong domineering attitude of long time club members often who appears to not give a chance to prospective or new members appears to be a drawback which results in prospective members not coming back or members not renewing their membership.

D CHALLENGES
5. To have a joint membership campaign in a central part of the downtown core in Edmonton due to a low membership in some of the clubs in the downtown core.6. Convince the club to modify it’s culture to allow for membership growth.7. Ensure that the needs of the clubs in Ft. McMurray will be looked after.8. Lackluster “un-fun” boring meetings discourages membership continuity.
