Are you trying to overcome your fear of speaking, learn how to make presentations, lead a meeting, and get ahead in your career? Then Capital Toastmasters I is the club for you!
We are a local club (#876) of Toastmasters International, which has been dedicated to self-improvement in public speaking and organizational leadership since 1924.
Capital Toastmasters I, founded in 1950, is a community club: we are not sponsored by any employer and are open to all members of the greater Washington community. We meet at the the National Community Reinvestment Coalition Training Room, 8th Floor, 727 15th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005-2727.
Meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month (except for the 4th Tuesdays in August and December) from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m. Luncheon is provided. If you are interested in attending a meeting, please see Visit Our Club to learn about scheduling a visit, or contact our Vice President/Membership, Ron Barrett, or call him at (301) 461-6918. Guests are always welcome!
SPECIAL NOTE: The meeting scheduled for February 9, 2010, is canceled due to the snow. The International Speech Contest at the club level will be held February 23.

Capital Toastmasters is pleased to hold the designation of Distinguished Club from Toastmasters International in recognition of our active educational and organizational program.
