The Down to Business Toastmasters Club in Port Coquitlam is having an Open House on Wednesday, February 8. Guests are welcome. This looks like the perfect way to explore whether Toastmasters might help you improve your public speaking.
In 2019 Toastmasters International and Rotary International, formed a unique strategic alliance. The opportunity for Toastmasters members is primarily to establish fellowship and make new connections, contribute more to communities, and potentially elevate clubs. Rotary members have the opportunity to develop new skills and may ask to visit Toastmasters clubs or receive evaluations. Toastmasters also developed eight educational courses for Rotarians and Rotaractors, available on Rotary International’s Learning Center, which can be accessed by their members in nine languages.
