The answer lies in the investment Toastmasters and Rotary members make in the spirit and actionable opportunities the alliance invites. Such as:
- Members of both organizations are likely to make new friends, master new skills, and discover the rewarding experience of supporting humanitarian causes and one’s community.
- The alliance may foster a real-life experience in change management. How will your club—whether a Toastmasters club, a Rotary club, or a blend of both—attract new members? Could Toastmasters-Rotary collaborations offer an appealing new way to position your club experience to changing demographic groups?
- Rotary’s service mission offers compelling perspectives for Toastmasters. If you’re a Toastmaster looking for speech topics, just sit in a Rotary meeting, one “Rota-Toast” advises.
- Toastmasters, particularly in Pathways Levels 1–3, can complete and get credit for speech and leadership projects while at the same time lending Rotary members an expertise they may not have. Why not pick a Pathways project that can help you and Rotary colleagues, experienced Toastmasters ask. Additionally, for Rotary and Toastmasters native speakers, Pathways is available in multiple languages, and in special translations for select materials.
