The Team
Chair
This is a
Judged Role
The Chair Person manages the Team during the competition. Their job is to keep the session moving. They introduce the team member, telling everyone a little about each person, the role they will play and when it is their turn to speak.
The Chair Person is organised and thinks on their feet. They are a good listener and pay close attention when their speaker is being asked a question. A very good Chair Person will remember to use a question asked, in their summary.
The Script below gives an outline of what the Chair says throughout the session.
