Toastmasters Clubs meet in
thousands of communities -- and
corporate conference rooms -- in
more than 60 countries around
the world. Each year new groups
are organized in places like
Sarawak, Malaysia, and Los
Angeles, California. Some are
organized by experienced
Toastmasters, while others are
organized by people completely
new to the organization. So
don't be intimidated! If you're
interested enough to read this
page, you're probably interested
enough to start a new group!
The first is to request a new
club information kit. Complete
the form at the bottom of this
page and we'll send a new kit
right away! Still need to be
convinced? Read on!
What Can a Toastmasters Club Do
for My Company?
In recent years, nearly half of
all new Toastmasters Clubs have
been formed with companies. Why?
Much of any company's success
depends on communication.
Employees face an endless
exchange of ideas, messages, and
information as they deal with
one another and with customers
day after day. How well they
communicate can determine
whether a company quickly grows
into an industry leader or joins
thousands of other businesses
mired in mediocrity.
Toastmasters provides the tools
that enable employees to become
effective communicators and
leaders all at a very low cost.
Toastmasters training helps
employees:
-
give
better sales presentations
-
hone
their management skills
-
work
better with fellow employees
-
effectively develop and
present ideas
-
offer
constructive criticism
-
accept
criticism more objectively
Toastmasters produces results.
Around the world more than three
million men and women of all
ages and occupations have
benefited from Toastmasters
training, and more than one
thousand corporations, community
groups, universities,
associations, and government
agencies now use Toastmasters
training.
Why should we have a
Toastmasters Club in our
Community?
Toastmasters has helped
thousands of people achieve more
in all aspects of their lives.
Using the speaking and
leadership skills developed in
Toastmasters, people have become
more active in business,
churches, and service and
charity organizations.
Toastmasters members are able to
organize activities, conduct
meetings, and speak in public as
their organization's
representative. Some even become
active in local, state, or
national government.
What's the Fine Print?
A new Toastmasters club must
have a minimum of 20 members. In
addition to a $125 Charter Fee,
the costs of starting a new club
are as follows: All new members
pay a one-time new-member fee of
$20 (Transfer, dual, or
reinstated members need not pay
this fee), and all members of
the new club pay six months'
advance dues of $27. Each club
may also choose to assess local
chapter dues for each member to
cover additional costs, i.e.,
club banner, awards,
refreshments, etc.
