District 86 International Speech & Table Topics Contest (Apr18/24)

Why do Members Compete?

The aim of this competition is to equip members with the skills of thinking clearly, speaking persuasively and listening to the opinions of others critically and constructively.

The Benefits of Competing.

By improving your communication, public speaking, and leadership skills, you are building a better version of yourself. Whether you are hoping to land that big promotion or simply want to feel more confident when communicating with coworkers, Toastmasters can help teach the skills you need!

Excelsior

A renewed commitment to reaching higher, achieving greatness, and inspiring others to do the same. It is the promise of an enriching journey, a journey beyond the ordinary with the potential to create lasting change in members' lives.

We are moving upward: personal and professional growth via high quality and impactful sessions throughout the week which can make learning a lot of fun.
