How Does It Work?

A Toastmasters meeting is a learn-by-doing workshop in which participants hone their speaking and leadership skills in a no-pressure atmosphere.

There is no instructor in a Toastmasters meeting. Instead, members evaluate one another’s presentations. This feedback process is a key part of the program’s success.

Meeting participants also give impromptu talks on assigned topics, conduct meetings and develop skills related to timekeeping, grammar and parliamentary procedure.

Members learn communication skills by working in the Competent Communication manual, a series of 10 self-paced speaking assignments designed to instill a basic foundation in public speaking.

We are in need of volunteers to help prepare tax returns for EKU's international students, as part of EKU ACC Society's service project. We are seeking your help. You do not need any experience in tax return preparation since Dr. Fenton will have examples for you to follow.

Date: Tuesday February 26

Time: 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. (but you can come any time during that period)

Place: BTC Room 132

Please send an email to Lauren Jackson if you can help us. This would be good for your resume, plus you will really help the international students.

Looking forward to your positive reply.
