Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a global network of clubs. Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, the organization has more than 270,000 members across over 14,700 clubs in 149 countries. Since its founding in 1924, Toastmasters International has helped people from diverse backgrounds become more confident speakers, communicators, and leaders.
In Toastmasters District 56, the idea of the “Toastmasters PIE” slices up a meeting into three flavorful segments, each serving a distinct purpose in developing communication and leadership skills. Here’s a classic breakdown:
Most clubs have around 20 members and meet once a week for an hour. For a preview of what the club experience is like, please watch the video below:
Each club features its own unique experience, energy, and culture. You are truly encouraged to explore and find the vibe that suits you best. Visiting is not just free—it’s encouraged! Most guests leave with a clearer sense of what suits their personality and speaking style. And hey, even if you don’t join right away, you’ll probably walk away having learned something new or met someone inspiring.
We empower individuals to become more effective communicators and leaders.
We build new clubs and support all clubs in achieving excellence.
We provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.
As a member of Toastmasters International and my club, I promise:
District 56 Toastmasters is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people become better communicators and leaders.
District leaders put service above self in supporting all clubs in achieving excellence.
District 56 became the second Toastmasters district in Texas on July 1, 1957, as a result of a split with District 25.
