Mission Statement

The mission of our Toastmasters Club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.

Visitors are ALWAYS Welcome!

We meet every Friday at 6:30 - the meeting begins promptly at 6:40 am

Each meeting lasts one hour - we adjourn at 7:40 am

You do not need any prior experience and do not need to bring anything with you.

Come and meet us any Friday and begin your journey to improved speaking and leadership skills.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Tyler Morning Toastmasters is currently meeting in person again.

While we do our best to follow social distancing guidelines, we also understand that not everyone may feel secure about in-person meetings at this time. If you would like to attend our meetings virtually, we are happy to make that option available to you.

Please just contact Nikki Brown (coachnikkib@gmail.com) at least 24 hours before our next meeting, and we will run a livestream of our meeting over Zoom so you can participate.

Distinguished Toastmaster will still represent the highest level of educational achievement in Toastmasters.

The new requirements for the DTM award will be:

Serve as a club mentor or coach.
Serve as a club sponsor or conduct a Speechcraft or Youth Leadership program.
Serve as a district officer for one year.
Complete the DTM project. (Members are required to create and implement a project of their own design, in which they demonstrate the skills and expertise they have gained.)

What are the fees for Pathways?

Your regular membership dues cover the cost of your first path, however, if you choose the printed materials option for your path, there is a $25 printing fee. The cost for an additional path is $20, and if you elect to work in printed materials, the $25 printing fee also applies.

If you are working in one path and decide to switch to another path, you do not need to pay an additional $20 as long as you make the exchange within 30 days of the original purchase. The $25 fee you pay for a path with printed materials is not refundable. Remember: you can always print out copies of the Pathways materials on your own, at no charge. If you are enrolled in Pathways online, you can print out any of the materials on Base Camp.

You are eligible for a maximum of two free paths if you belong to more than one club. To qualify for a second free path, you must already be a member of multiple clubs when Pathways rolls out in your region. Joining additional clubs after Pathways is available to you will not qualify you for a second free path.

We are in Region 5, District 50, Eastern Division, Areas 13 & 14.
