more Toastmasters from clubs in those areas
contacting us, becoming involved in training,
and then making a monthly commitment to
producing a quality show for cablecast and online

broadcast.
Involvement in TV Toastmasters is a rewarding
experience on many levels. Our members are
existing Toastmasters who joined their clubs

to learn, to grow, and to communicate more
effectively to a wider audience. What they find is
that involvement in TV Toastmasters empowers
them to reach those goals on an even grander

scale. In the Digital Age, communication by
video is becoming an essential skill. We hope
to welcome many readers to take part in the TV
Toastmasters experience.
