September 29 2016 Meeting Synopsis

Speechcraft Week 1

This meeting kicked off the start of our 5-week Speechcraft program. Experienced Voyagers Toastmasters introduce  various aspects of communication and leadership fundamentals to program participants. Speechcraft participants receive workbooks and  practice the skills they learn within the context of a Toastmasters meeting. Speechcrafters are paired with club members to mentor and support them through the process.

At the conclusion of  the Speechcraft program, participants may choose to join Voyagers for a prorated membership fee. In addition, participant speeches will count towards the Competent Communicator rating.
