It’s easy to think of Toastmasters as one giant homogeneous organization. As any Toastmaster will tell you, that is far from the truth. Each club has a unique personality. Club Spotlight seeks to help current and future members find the right club(s) for their Toastmasters goals.

Club members in their own words:
“I joined Freehold Phrasers to raise my confidence when speaking in public. The experience has been amazing and now I speak with ease. The Freehold club in particular has been a nurturing and supportive environment for me.”-Linda Fennessy
“When researching Toastmasters I looked for a group that was close to home to visit. I sat in on a meeting and joined that evening. I enjoyed the excitement of the members in presenting, listening, and reviewing. The feedback given to presenters was structured, organized and positive, with constructive feedback for improvement. This is exactly what I was looking for.
I enjoy the diversity of the group. We have members from all walks of life, ethnic backgrounds, as well different levels of presenters. We have a great mix of seasoned members to newbies! I look forward to our bi-monthly meetings and learning, growing and laughing. Thank you for being a new chapter in my career and personal goals.” -Elaine Holzhauer
