The SELACO Spotlight

Toastmasters International has been teaching Communication and Leadership skills in a fun, friendly atmosphere. In 2005 the SELACO Workforce Development Board opened a Toastmasters club to better assist SELACO WDB customers in preparing for job search and interviewing. Since that time, hundreds have benefitted from the speaking skills and support provided by our club, the LUNCHTIME LEADERS.

 

What is Toastmasters?

Do you want to practice public speaking, improve your communication and build leadership skills? With Toastmasters, you can break barriers, not your budget. Learn more about the history of the organization and our methodology to help maximize your potential!
