                                                      Feedbackers Club
                                                 chartered 14 years ago. The focus of the club is,
                                                 well, feedback. At each of our meetings three
                                                 members, or guests, give 5-7 minute speeches.
                                                 Each speaker receives feedback from four
                                                 different evaluators. The speakers request what
                                                 type of feedback they wish to receive. It can be
                                                 based on manual, vocals, organization or stage
                                                 to name a few. The four evaluators are then
                                                 given feedback on their evaluations so they can
                                                 improve too.

                                                      Our members joined this club because
                                                 they realized that providing feedback on what
                                                 people do well and what can be improved on
                                                 is how growth happens. Many people say they
                                                 are too intimidated to join Feedbackers. When
