Welcome to
University Toastmasters
of Ashland, Oregon
Presidents Distinguished Club
(a Toastmasters International's top honor we have held seven years in a row)
We are a friendly group dedicated to helping each other practice the art of public speaking. Our members come from all over the Rogue Valley. We are students, professionals and small business owners; a mix of young and "seasoned"; some are new to public speaking and others are award-winning speakers. All have this in common: a love of learning and a great sense of humor. We believe a fun and supportive environment is the best environment for learning and growth.
Come check us out!
University Toastmasters meets:
Every Tuesday night from 7:00 - 8:30 pm
at the Peace House in Ashland, OR
543 S. Mountain Ave. at Ashland St. (across from SOU)
The Toastmasters learn-by-doing program is the best way we have found to become better speakers and leaders. For a fraction of what it would cost to attend a public speaking seminar, you can spend Tuesday evenings with friends; Listen to fascinating talks and adventurous stories, and share your own knowledge and experiences while you work on your communications skills.
Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation, whether in a one-on-one conversation or speaking before a large audience. By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open a world of new possibilities.
The Toastmasters self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest ideas for improvement. Everyone is behind you 100%, so it is great to get feedback and have a team cheer you on as you make progress.
One of the best ways to learn about Toastmasters
and to see if it is for you is to attend one of our meetings.
We enjoy having guests, so come see us in action!
