Toastmasters International

Toastmasters International is comprised of over 13,000 clubs worldwide, dedicated to helping members improve their speaking and leadership skills. The mission of a Toastmasters club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.

South Loop Toastmasters
South Loop Toastmasters is an emerging club that meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month at Daystar Center, 1550 S. State Street, from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. The goal of the club is to bring the Toastmasters program to the South Loop community and help neighbors connect and learn from one another while developing their own speaking and leadership abilities.

Meetings Happening Now
Due to the holidays South Loop Toastmasters is meeting on the first and third Monday of December, giving us the ability to offer three meetings between November 28 and December 19. With membership growing at a steady pace the club anticipates chartering by the end of January. For more information about Toastmasters International please visit their website.
