The mission of a Toastmasters Club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth. The Toastmasters educational program includes a leadership track, where you acquire and practice the skills necessary to be an effective leader. You can serve as a club leader, developing skills in planning, training, motivating and managing. You even can become a district leader, where these skills are further enhanced.

As a member of Toastmasters, you have an opportunity to serve and learn in many capacities. By participating in the club’s Executive Committee, taking on the responsibility for meeting quality and the long-term success of the club, you will acquire well-rounded skills not only in communication, but also in leadership.
