Membership in Toastmasters International is not free, but at $10 per month is an excellent value

 

 

 

 

 

At rollingout on April 14, 2024 there is an article by Mr. Digital Fingers titled 4 clubs or groups to join free to improve your public speaking.

 

He lists the following four:

 

1] Toastmasters International

2] Meetup Public Speaking Groups

3] Online Public Speaking Communities

4] Local Libraries and Community Centers

 

But he is wrong about that first item. Toastmasters International is not free, although it is an excellent value. Their web page on How to Join says that there is a cost of $60 for semi-annual international dues, plus a $20 new member fee. That continuing $60, or just $10 per month is inexpensive. (There also may be additional club dues. At the Pioneer Club I belong to in Boise they are another $6 semi-annually, or $1 per month.)

 

Back on July 15, 2010 I blogged about how Public speaking training is a journey; You get to choose how to go.
