What to expect[]
The Concordia Toastmasters Club is affiliated with Concordia University, and was started to give faculty, staff, students and alumni a place to practice their public speaking and leadership skills, following the proven Toastmasters International curriculum.
The Club does not restrict membership to the Concordia Community, as it recognizes that the more a club is diverse, the better it is for everyone. All are welcome!
History[]
The Concordia Toastmasters Club developed from a Speechcraft Program that was presented by Van Petteway for administrative personnel of Concordia University. The first session of Speechcraft was held May 25, 1998.
As a result of the success of the initial Speechcraft Program and the commitment of the participants and the enthusiastic support of many experienced Toastmasters, the stage was set for the formation of a new club.
The first meeting of the Concordia Toastmasters Club was held September 22, 1998. The Concordia Toastmasters Club received its Charter from Toastmasters International February 18, 1999.
