Toastmasters helps you improve in speaking and in leadership.

Speaking: You learn by doing and by getting written and verbal feedback from your fellow club members. Each meeting gives you the opportunity to improve your speaking skills, whether you've never spoken before a group or already give presentations.

You solidify your prepared speaking with the 10-speech communication and leadership manual, then continue with the 5-speech advanced manuals.
And improve your impromptu speaking with "table topics."

Below, you'll find information on Leadership and links to more information:

 
 
 

Leadership:

 

By serving  -- whether as a club officer or as an international director -- you gain even more opportunities.

Toastmasters has 9000 clubs. (It took us a week to count.) To organize itself more effectively, it has regions and districts. Our District 4 has about 200 clubs.

Main Street Maniacs! is Club 8557, in Area E-2, Division E, District 4, Region II, Toastmasters International, Planet Earth (Please pay attention: you'll be tested on this.)
