For those of you that saw my speech last night – here’s the “Toastmasters Promise”. For anyone who didn’t, the Toastmasters Promise guides you through what it takes to fulfil your obligations to the club, your fellow members, but primarily: to yourself. Why not have a read of the promise, and use it to help you get the most benefit from your Toastmasters membership.

As a member of Toastmasters International and my club, I promise
- To attend club meetings regularly
