Ever wondered what it takes to organise a successful Toastmasters speech contest? Me too! I share my experiences of seeing behind the scenes of club contests and the upcoming Area 26 conference, and walk through my experiences and the collaborative efforts that make these events possible. Learn about the various roles within contests and how they contribute to the larger picture of fostering member growth and participation.
