The group has been meeting informally since July, but is officially opening its meetings for new membership at this meeting. All ages, professions and skill-levels are invited. Although the group encourages everyone in attendance to participate, attendees or members are never asked to speak unless they volunteer. Toastmasters International is the most effective, affordable way to develop presentation and public speaking skills for professional or personal development. Meetings are structured in a peer-taught environment that is designed to feel more like the members are visiting with each other rather than being lectured by a professional. All attendees are invited to participate in various roles during the meeting but no public speaking experience is required or even suggested.
