WHAT HAPPENS IN A TOASTMASTERS CLUB MEETING?
A Toastmasters club works harmoniously to provide each member an opportunity to practice communication and leadership skills. Members practice delivering speeches, take up leadership roles and support each other in achieving excellence.
Quality club meetings are the foundation of a successful club. Clubs that have quality meetings and help their members achieve excellence in their speaking and leadership journeys are able to retain members, attract more guests and deliver value on a consistent basis. Toastmasters International provides a gamut of tools and assets to help clubs maintain the highest standards.

PHYSICAL? ONLINE? DISTRICT 20 HAVE YOU COVERED
The COVID pandemic changed the way we work and communicate. Collaboration tools such as ZOOM, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet allow us to connect, communicate and deliver results.
District 20 embraced innovation and flourished even during the lockdown; enabling its members to develop online communication skills. It gave opportunity to members who would otherwise hesitate to visit physical meeting locations. Today, we have more than 20 clubs that still meet online and boast global membership.
Depending on where you live, and your commitments, we cater to those who wish to develop their public speaking skills in a physcial environment, or online setting. Several clubs combine the best of both worlds to create hybrid meetings. Check our club register by clicking the link below to find a club that meets your needs.
