Three World Champions of Public Speaking — Darren Lacroix, Mark Brown, and Ed Tate — are coming to Vancouver for one workshop evening: real answers on becoming a professional speaker, growing your club, and where to start.

Membership dues increase on Monday, August 3rd, 2026. Renew by end of Today by 10:59pm PST / 11:59pm MST to keep the current rate for the upcoming October 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027 six-month renewal period.

Nothing changes but the membership dues rate — same club, same meetings, same Pathways projects, same contests.

Club dues are set by each club and may be collected in addition to the membership dues payable to Toastmasters International, so the exact amount depends on which club you belong to. Your Club President, Treasurer or VP Membership can tell you what your total would be, take payment and renew you at the current membership dues rate.
