Our Club History

Southern Lights Toastmasters Club was chartered in 1979 with the assistance of Distinguish Toastmasters Ron Chapman, George Andrews, and Neil Wilkinson.

Southern Lights was built on a solid foundation of experienced members wanting to help people become better public speakers.  Today, we regularly have a third of the people attending our meetings with more than 10 years of public speaking experience.  We have always had a good balance of experienced, advanced and novice public speakers.

Distinguished Toastmasters

Southern Lights is very proud to have the guidance of many Distinguished Toastmasters, most of whom regularly attend our club meetings.

Distinguished Toastmasters are members who have achieved all leadership and communication levels established by Toastmasters International.  Southern Lights currently has the following DTM members.
