About Schooner Toastmasters
Schooner Toastmasters was formed in 1979.
The membership of the Schooner club is quite diverse. We have long-term members and some relatively new Toastmasters. Some members have achieved various designations within the organization such as Competent Toastmaster (CTM), Advanced Toastmaster (ATM) or Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM). Many of our members are active at levels of the organization beyond the club. Our members also bring a wide variety of educational and professional backgrounds to the club which provide for diverse and interesting speeches.
The Mission of our Club
The mission of a Toastmasters Club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop communication and leadership skills which, in turn, foster self-confidence and personal growth.
The Structure of Toastmasters
The Schooner Toastmasters Club is one of seven clubs in Area 1 which is one of sixteen Areas in District 45. There are approximately 82 clubs in District 45 which takes in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. District 45 is one of eight Districts in Region 7. Region 7 runs down the eastern seaboard to Washington, DC. There are 8 Regions in North America. The clubs overseas usually belong to Districts but those Districts are not part of a Region. As well, there are a number of clubs which do not belong to any District because of their location.
