Experience an Advanced Toastmasters Club
Peninsula Pros provides a venue for presenting advanced speech projects, where every prepared speech project is evaluated both by a designated evaluator and in a round robin evaluation.
We feature special workshops throughout the year. Subjects include formal debates, parliamentary procedure, speech evaluation, interpersonal communication, leadership development, microphone usage, and many more.
The club supports regional clubs in Division A by holding its annual Winners Circle each spring, which precedes the area, division, and district Toastmaster contests. It’s an opportunity for local contest winners to practice their winning speeches and receive multiple evaluations from members.
The club’s vision is to provide the area with an advanced Toastmaster club that exemplifies the highest quality of speaking, listening, and leadership skills. Peninsula Pros accomplishes this vision through the member's club, area, division and district leadership participation.
