Who is this club for?
Creative Communicators Toastmasters (CCTM) is an Ottawa club for interior designers, architects, and other art professionals.
Whichever creative field we work in, communicating our vision to others is the key to our success, whether by expressing our concepts visually, or by describing the details with precision to our clients and colleagues.
