Experience Quality Communication and Leadership Opportunities At Toastmasters

Welcome message from our District 86 Director

Welcome to a District 86: Let’s Grow and Shine Together!

A new Toastmasters year brings fresh opportunities to grow, connect, and achieve more than you ever imagined. Here in District 86, we are focused on member empowerment, club excellence, club and member growth. Providing you the tools, opportunities, and confidence to take ownership of your development. Because when our members thrive, clubs thrive, and our district does too.

Whether your club meets in person, online, or in a hybrid format, each setting offers a supportive environment to learn, lead, and be inspired. This is your time to take the next step in your Toastmasters journey whether that means delivering your first speech, leading a project, or mentoring a fellow member.

Through the Toastmasters Education Program, you’ll gain practical, real-world skills that help you grow personally and professionally in areas such as:

  • Speak with clarity and purpose
  • Deliver engaging presentations
  • Lead teams and manage projects
  • Build confidence and overcome fear
  • Listen actively and give feedback
  • Set goals and plan strategically
  • Work collaboratively with others
  • Network and build connections

 

I invite motivated and inspired members to step up, whether you dream of becoming a winning speaker or as a future club or district leader, there is a place for you here.

The District Executive Team is by your side, ready to support you in reaching your personal and club goals. When you grow, your club grows, and so does our district.

Let’s collaborate together and make 2025–2026 a year of purpose, passion, and progress!
