Headquartered in Englewood, Colo., the organization's membership exceeds 357,000 in more than 16,600 clubs in 143 countries. Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped people from diverse backgrounds become more confident speakers, communicators, and leaders.Members pay international dues of $45 USD every six months, plus a new member fee of $20. With Toastmasters, the learning never stops. Join Toastmasters and you will:- Improve your public speaking skills- Build leadership skills- Maximize your potential- Enjoy unlimited personal growth- Work on networking in a small and supportive environment- Practice writing speeches and presenting in a group setting- Gain a competitive advantage in the workplace- Build self-confidence and self-awarenessThe area director serves as the direct liaison between the district and the clubs. The District Administrative Bylaws provide for the selection of area directors either by appointment by the district director or by election by the area councils. Toastmasters International recommends that district directors appoint area directors. Area directors conduct club visits twice a year within their respective areas to understand and support club needs. In turn, these visits help district leaders understand how to support and meet the needs of each club. It is important that area directors have the support they need to serve clubs. The success of the district depends on it. Area directors are eligible for re-election or re-appointment for one succeeding term only. Ideally, area directors have served as members of a district council. Show less
