  My request is to have the ability to change the titles used to refer to the club officers - if only as they are listed in the meeting agendas.

  If you are familiar with Pat Johnson's book about developing strong corporate Toastmasters programs, you know that she's a strong advocate of these programs using a more formal "business" vocabulary - and not the pseudo-recreational "club" vocabulary that's appropriate for our community clubs.  VPE, for example, is meaningless to a company's management, whereas "Education Chair" or "Education Manager" are terms that they can understand.  This even extends to the titles we use for our meeting roles - such as Table Topics Master.  At present, however, it appears the current titles are hard-coded within the FTH application.

  I realize these terms are essentially the "official" Toastmasters designations, and that they are probably embedded in many different parts of the FTH code.  However, I also believe that it would greatly benefit our 'corporate' citizens if they had the ability to use the terminology that is more appropriate to their world.  Perhaps as a first step this could be added to the meeting agendas, so that when these agendas are sent to a company manager they have a better feel for what's happening?
