SUSSEX ONLINE SPEAKERS

New Member Journey

Every member will have a unique Toastmasters journey. We encourage you to utilise the tools, support and opportunities available to you as member to get the most out of your membership.

​

First steps

• Toastmasters International will send you an email to confirm your membership with the club. We encourage you to check your spam/junk or other inboxes as this may not land in your regular inbox.

• Once your membership is active, put time aside to explore your profile on the Toastmasters International website, sign up for a learning path and explore the learning management system ''Base Camp'' (accessed via your membership profile on the Toastmasters website.

• Toastmasters is an organisation focused on communication and leadership. It works best when members are committed and organised. We recommend adding club meetings to your diary (you can subscribe to our club calendar on EasySpeak) or just add our club meetings in manually (dates available here).

• Ask for help if you need it by communicating with your club leaders via email sussexonlinespeakers@gmail.com
