Meeting Time: 

Welcome to the Toastmatters website and thank-you for visiting. 

Toastmatters provides a mutually supportive and positive learning environment that enables members to develop effective public speaking and leadership skills. Our organization is a member club of Toastmasters International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping men and women learn the arts of speaking, listening and thinking - vital skills that enhance one's communications skills and leadership potential.

What's the secret to Toastmasters' success? Practice. Instead of passively listening to lectures by communications "experts," Toastmasters believes that people can only truly improve their public speaking skills by actually speaking in front of others regularly. Our club provides a proactive and supportive atmosphere for members to speak before the club on a weekly basis. By taking advantage of our ongoing speaking opportunities, you'll find that those shy and awkward feelings that are common with public speaking will begin to diminish much quicker than being coached by a high priced consultant!

Visit Us Today!

You're welcome to become a guest at our next meeting to see for yourself how we help members improve their public speaking skills. Our meetings are held at 12:00 p.m. sharp every Monday in the Lavaca Conference Room in Building 32 at Applied Materials' Harris Branch Campus. The meetings are open to all guests including non-Applied employees.

If you like what you see, we will start helping you realize your communications potential. Upon signing up, you will immediately receive a training manual and, depending on your comfort level, you will be given the opportunity to give your first speech.

For more information, feel free to contact our club's president Jason Allgood, CC (512-272-7085).
