Building Communication and Leadership
in Southwest Austin.

Oak Hill Toastmasters began in 1996 as an effort to bring the outstanding educational program of Toastmasters International to the rapidly growing southwestern neighborhoods of Austin, Texas. While Toastmasters is primarily known for its highly effective training in public speaking, we members of Oak Hill Toastmasters believe that its benefits extend far beyond public performance. As we see it, effective communication enhances the quality of community life, facilitates political participation, and thus forms one of the basic elements of democracy.

Our club is a friendly and diverse fellowship of individuals commited to self-improvement. Members include professionals, business people, students, and homemakers. We work together, evaluating, coaching, and supporting each other toward our personal goals. We learn to listen, to lead discussions, to conduct efficient and effective meetings, to improve interpersonal communication skills, as well as to speak to groups large and small.

We welcome all visitors and we believe that many of them will find our meetings valuable enough to join us as full fledged members of Toastmasters International.
