What we do
The Eastside Toastmasters Club is part of Toastmasters International, a non-profit organization which gives its members the opportunity to develop and improve their public speaking abilities through local club meetings, training seminars and speech contests.
Toastmasters International includes more than 199,000 men and women in more than 9,300 clubs in more than 70 countries. Eastside Toastmasters has close to 30 active members.
Why Toastmasters?
Experienced professionals and beginning speakers alike can benefit from our practical, face-to-face learning program. Whether you're speaking to the board of directors, your customers, your co-workers or your kids, Toastmasters can help you do it better.
You'll learn and practice in a friendly, comfortable environment with people who are there for the same reason you are: to become better communicators.
How it works
At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. Each 90-minute meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice by conducting meetings, giving impromptu speeches, presenting prepared speeches, and offering constructive evaluation.
Eastside Toastmasters
This Toastmasters club, #6500, was chartered on April 1, 1987 and the membership represents communities on the east side of Cleveland.
The Eastside Toastmasters has a strong history of accomplishments. We have earned Distinguished Club status for 15 out of the 20 years of its existence. Eastside Toastmasters has earned the top honor of President's Distinguished Club five out of the last six years.
Come and see for yourself why the Eastside Toastmasters is a leading club in northeast Ohio. Almost every week, we have guests visiting our meetings to find out about the club and to see members present fantastic speeches. See the map link below.
