JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas –
The Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph Toastmasters Club is now holding meetings Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. in Room 24 at the Base Education Center.
Toastmasters is an organization that helps its members improve their communication, public speaking and leadership skills.
“The biggest benefit to joining is being able to improve your self-confidence in public speaking and to be able to fine-tune the leadership skills you already have in an environment you feel safe to do so,” said Adrian Huddleston, JBSA-Randolph Toastmasters vice president for education. “We have a presence on base because we want to give military members skills and confidence they need to get promoted.”
Membership to Toastmasters is available to all Department of Defense employees including active duty and Reserve military personnel, family members, contractors and Department of Defense civilians.
“The people who can benefit the most are those who are struggling with their confidence in public speaking and are looking for a way to improve their public speaking skills,” Huddleston said. “Anyone looking to improve their communication skills and their ability to stand in front of an audience and deliver a presentation should attend our meetings.”
The JBSA-Randolph Toastmasters Club is approaching its 60th year at JBSA-Randolph and is part of an international organization with 16,400 clubs in 141 countries around the world.
