Starting New Clubs
Company Club or Community Club
Toastmasters groups are formed every day in a variety of settings. Groups meet onsite at corporations, churches, community centers, even in restaurants. Community clubs are generally open to anyone, while company clubs are usually limited to employees of that company and are called "closed."
