Dripping Springs Toastmasters is currently a group of 31 locals of all ages and backgrounds. The common thread--we all want to improve our abilities and meet others who are brave and ambitious enough to do the same. We are a new club but well on the way to be successful. For many, it is the first time in a long time that we have stretched our minds to wrap around new concepts and truly change a pattern in our lives, and we're loving it! We want you no matter what you do for a living or what you want to talk about, we welcome everyone to come and experience the Toastmasters experience.

Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization which gives its members the opportunity to develop and improve their public speaking abilities through local club meetings, training seminars and speech contests. Toastmasters International includes more than 199,000 men and women in more than 9,300 clubs in more than 70 countries.

Confidence, Proficiency, and Fun! Whether you are an business world executive, traveling through the business world, or an executive style world traveler enjoying retirement, you have the opportunity to learn and practice leadership, fellowship, speaking and listening in a friendly, comfortable environment with people who are there for the same reason you are—to become better communicators.

At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters club is made up of 20 to 30 people who meet once a week for about an hour. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice conducting meetings, giving impromptu speeches, presenting prepared speeches, and offering constructive evaluation.
