Toastmasters refocuses on having just one group at LinkedIn for members

In March 2017 I searched groups at LinkedIn, found there was one called The Official Toastmasters International Group (currently with 31,518 members), and joined it. After a few more months I found a post asking why there were two groups, and found there also confusingly was The Official Toastmasters International Members Group (currently with 48,824 members). These groups have useful discussions of topics such as the Pathways program. (I discussed my June 26, 2018 blog post on Another overview of Toastmasters International’s Pathways paths and projects).

Recently Toastmasters decided to keep the Members group and discontinue the other. A post from their Social Media Strategist said:

“A reminder, on November 30, 2018 The Official Toastmasters LinkedIn Group will no longer be active due to redundancy. If you are a current Toastmaster, please join The Official Toastmasters International Members LinkedIn Group. If you are not a Toastmaster, we welcome you to follow the Toastmasters International company page. We look forward to getting social with you. Thank you."
