As VP of Membership I now want to pay forward the warm welcome I received at Old Town Toastmasters after having moved to Alexandria from across the country (District 9).”

“I joined Toastmasters because every meeting gives me a chance to push myself into a zone where I am nervous and uncomfortable. Our club is such a supportive place where I am allowed to take on meeting roles, test my speechcraft, be imperfect, and learn from our club’s amazing members. There is no other place I have found that has so many resources to help you meet your speaking and leadership goals.”
