Nearing the end of the year


Nearing the end of the year

As the season changes and the temperature drops, it signals that we are getting that much closer to the holidays! UM Masters have accomplished many goals this year but we are still not done and going strong in this last portion of the year. For example, we recently conducted 2 speech-craft public speaking training programs for 20 students from the Department of Food and Human Nutrition Sciences at the University of Manitoba in the Fall 2017 term. Speech-craft training programs are an effective way for experienced members to present public speaking skills to non-members. The students who participated in our conducted training programs received a certificate and CCR designation. For more information on how you can help out with our next set of training programs or how to get your own CCR designations through Toastmasters, please feel free to ask one of the executive members at one of the meetings.

Additionally, we have been getting many new members and guests wanting a taste of what we have to offer! It is highly encouraged to bring friends so they can also  experience what we can offer. 

Finally, December 2017 is a big month for our club since it marks the 20th anniversary of conception of UM Masters! In twenty years, many things have changed but one thing that hasn't changed is the ability of our club to produce strong, capable leaders and communicators who have gone on to do amazing things. Stay tuned for information about the anniversary celebration. 

Sincerely,

Kapilan Panchendrabose
