Toastmasters International Manuals Keeping Records of Speeches

We need to revise all speakers manuals to
1 Include helpful hints on using Powerpoint/Keynote in every speech
which is what most people are expected to do in business presentations.

2 A list of speeches at the start of the manual not on the back page (where it is forgotten - I just evaluated a third speech - went to fill in the back page and could not because the previous two evaluators had not included the titles of the previous speeches).

Speech list of titles and dates on the front will focus member's minds on completing the manual's speeches.

A list of speeches given - or planned - forms a quick guide to whether speeches are all on any consistent theme which can be used in advance as speakers progress as a list for getting paid engagements. Or developing the speaker's work or hobby or sport. Or on the contrary if preferred being an all-round selection covering all areas of the speaker's life.
Also a guide to the speaker's mentor as to how fast and well the speaker is progressing, whether they will reach the end by the end of the six months or year of membership.
