The Pembroke & Area Toastmasters Club is one of 5
Toastmasters clubs now serving the Ottawa Valley area. Anyone
18+ years old is
invited to attend as a guest and explore the benefits of the Toastmasters
program. You do not have to call in advance and you do not need to join at your
first meeting. It is recommended that you come and experience the
meetings before deciding to join as a member. You can start at any meeting. Experience does not matter - if you have been looking for a way to
overcome a fear of public speaking or further develop your skills, Toastmasters has something to
offer.
Toastmasters International, formed
in 1924, is the largest non-profit organization in the world dedicated to
helping individuals develop and improve public speaking and/or leadership skills. More than 195,000
members belong to Toastmasters International through 9600 clubs in more than 80
countries. In keeping with the concept
of a "Club", Toastmasters is not a course of study but an opportunity for
members to self-pace and focus on those goals which are of importance to
them. Every meeting each member will have at least one opportunity to voluntarily
speak in public - that public being the club membership. These speaking
opportunities vary from short prepared speeches, to impromptu speaking, to
emceeing, to just introducing yourself, all in a very supportive environment.
The Pembroke & Area Toastmasters Club was chartered in May 1985.
We will be celebrated our 25th Anniversary in May 2010.
