District 8 Toastmasters

District 8 Toastmasters Toastmasters International's Mission - "empower individuals to become more effective communicators and leaders."

Our Mission - to build new clubs and support all clubs in achieving excellence. District 8, founded in 1940, serves Toastmasters clubs throughout the St. Louis region, eastern Missouri, and central to southern Illinois. These clubs provide members with a supportive atmosphere in which to develop their communication and leadership skills. Toastmasters isn't a class, but an experience, featuring a l

earn-by-doing program. We teach the skills of running a meeting, giving prepared speeches, providing and receiving feedback, speaking without preparation, and holding an office. Beyond the club, we also conduct fun special events, such as speech contests and conferences. Please visit our website www.dist8tm.org for more information.
