Toastmasters chapter moves meetings to new Clinton site

There’s a chapter of Toastmasters International that’s now meeting regularly in Clinton, in the Anderson County Higher Education Center at 220 Frank L. Diggs Drive.

Meetings of the Greater Knoxville Speechmasters are held from 6:30-8 p.m. on the second Monday of each month in the new location, with the next meeting coming up March 10.

According to an announcement from the club, the meetings are open to the public. The chapter also offers a virtual-meeting option for those who prefer to attend online.

The Greater Knoxville Speechmasters is described as a “fun-loving, enthusiastic group that provides a supportive environment where members can practice their communication and leadership skills, receive constructive feedback, and gain confidence in their public-speaking abilities.”

The parent group, Toastmasters International, has been helping individuals improve their leadership and communication skills for more than 100 years, the group’s announcement noted.

“The Greater Knoxville Speechmasters chapter is proud to continue that tradition,” it said.

“Whether you’re looking to polish your interview skills, enhance your English language abilities, sharpen your presentation skills, or improve your personal communication style, everyone is welcome to attend.

While there is no charge for a “drop-in visit,” the group said a six-month membership is $60, and some employers may offer professional development funds to help cover the cost.
