About Area:

Area 81 consists of three corporate clubs meeting during the noon hour and a public club meeting in the evening. The corporate clubs; Candu, Hatch, Wood Oakville, provide services to business sectors including nuclear energy, mining, power, oil and gas and clean energy. Together with Toastmasters, we are developing leaders to engineer and promote safe and sustainable options for our energy and resources. The public club, Clarkson Toastmasters, joined Area 81 in 2018 and meets on Tuesdays at Clarkson Community Center.

Message from Area 81 Director

I have been a Toastmasters member since 2012 and now is the time to give back to the community of Toastmasters. I volunteer for the role to enhance my communication and leadership skills while helping other clubs and their members to achieve their goals and succeed. I am thrilled to have an opportunity to spent time getting to know clubs and their strengths and weakness. I am ready to bring to the club members a bigger picture of what Toastmasters is, can be in their lives and how we can support each other.
I am sure the invaluable experience I'll gain during my time as an area director will prepare me for additional responsibility in Toastmasters leadership in the future.
