Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped millions of men and women become more confident in front of an audience.
Since 1963, the Suitland Federal Toastmasters Club has helped U.S. Census Bureau employees and members of the surrounding communities become more effective speakers and better leaders. Our diverse membership are share at least one thing in common -- we joined Toastmasters because we wanted to overcome our fears of public speaking.
Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation. Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication and leadership skills.
Members of the Suitland Federal Toastmasters Club have used the skills they have learned to accomplish numerous personal and professional goals, including:
- achieving raises and promotions,
- securing new jobs,
- giving stress-free presentations,
- defending their PhD dissertations,
- winning District level speech contests,
- excelling in leadership positions,
- improving personal relationships,
- and lots more!
Don’t worry! Everyone in a Toastmasters club was once at the level you are now. The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. And you’ll love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.
You won’t regret it. Toastmasters currently has more than 200,000 members in 80 countries. Our club is just one of the more than 10,000 clubs located around the world. For membership meeting information, please see our membership information page.
