How Do I Join a Toastmasters Club?

Visit your local Toastmasters Club! We encourage people to attend one or more of our club meetings to evaluate the benefits of Toastmasters membership.

Why should I join?

By becoming a member, you can reach your goals of better communication in business meetings, community affairs, job interviews, sales contacts, panel discussions, school courses, et cetera. Anyone interested in improved speaking and leadership skills will be welcomed.

How much does it cost?

Membership fees are relatively small. Dues are collected when you become a member (prorated), and then semiannually after that. Most clubs charge dues of $10 to $36 per year. In addition, Toastmasters International charges a one-time fee of $17.24 to cover the cost of a membership kit, plus semiannual dues of $18.

What does my Toastmasters membership provide?

  • New Member Kit containing a Communication and Leadership Program manual, general orientation materials, and three additional manuals: Your Speaking Voice, Effective Speech Evaluation, and Your Body Speaks. The Communication and Leadership Program is designed to help members develop the basic skills needed to prepare and present effective speeches.
  • Professionally prepared educational materials and resources on speaking, listening, discussion, parliamentary procedure, audiovisual techniques, and leadership skills.
  • The Toastmaster monthly magazine. The Toastmaster provides insights into the ever-changing world of communication and leadership. The ideas and techniques featured in every issue are considered by many to be worth the total cost of belonging to Toastmasters.
  • Affiliation with an internationally respected educational organization.
  • An opportunity to participate and compete in the Toastmasters International Speech Contest – the World Championship of Public Speaking.
  • Unlimited opportunity for personal and occupational recognition based on improved abilities and accumulated experience.
  • A unique chance to learn and improve your abilities while having fun.

We look forward to welcoming
 you to a club meeting soon.
