EAST SIDE TOASTMASTERS

Eastside Toastmasters (EST) is a public speaking and leadership training program. We help members and guests develop skills through experiential learning. By actively participating in meeting roles, giving prepared speeches, and supporting club functions, you develop communication skills, leadership abilities and confidence.

The EST club is part of Toastmasters International. The organization’s vision is to empower YOU to become a more effective communicator and leader.

Interested in visiting our club or becoming a member? Feel free to contact us for more info. We would be honored to serve you on your path to becoming the speaker and leader you want to be!                                                            

The education program is an important part of every Toastmaster's journey and is a critical aspect of every club meeting around the world. The Toastmasters Education Program is based on a proven curriculum that enables you to develop your communication and leadership skills one step at a time. The program is built on four guiding principles that have been in place since Toastmasters was founded in 1924:

Experiential Learning–we learn by doing; by giving speeches and fulfilling leadership roles, we practice and improve

Self-paced Program–we learn best at our own pace and comfort level

Peer Feedback–through honest and supportive peer evaluation, we grow and improve

Mentoring–experienced members encourage, guide and support us in our goals and help us to achieve more than we thought possible

The program comprises two tracks: Communication and Leadership. The two tracks are not mutually exclusive; you may participate in both at the same time, if you wish. You progress through each track by completing a series of manuals that contain projects and evaluation guides. There are many opportunities for awards and recognition along the way.

New memberships are good for 6 months. 6 month memberships are renewed every October and April, and prorated at $6 per month. Renewal dues are currently $41. As of October 2016, renewal dues will be $50.
