Introduce yourself and other speakers at the start of the meeting. If it is a small meeting, ask everyone to introduce themselves. Sometimes it works well to get people to say a bit more about themselves as part of the introductions. Tell people what the meeting is about.
“Good morning/evening, everyone! It's state the date and time, and I'd like to call the meeting of organization name to order.” The officer then addresses any items of personal or perfunctory nature. This could include welcoming new members, thanking retiring members, and welcoming visitors.
