Timer
Description
The Timer ensures meetings run on schedule by tracking the time of speeches, table topics, and evaluations. They explain the timing rules at the start and use colored signals (green, yellow, red) to alert speakers of their progress. The Timer records the actual time taken for each speaker and provides a brief report at the end, helping members develop time management skills in their speeches.

Table topics for example:
