Dear fellow Toastmasters,

Our Fall 2018 schedule has been finalized. Please refer to the list below.  In response to a survey sent to our members this past summer, we are providing you with a variety of meeting time and location options. You can also add the NYU Toastmasters Google calendar to your Google calendar. Just search for “NYU Toastmasters” in the field “Add a co-worker’s calendar” (or click on this link).

As a reminder, this is a closed group for the NYU Community only (staff, faculty, students, and alumni).  If you are an NYU community member but not a member of Toastmasters, you are welcome to attend our meetings as a guest and fill any of the roles except speaker.

The link to the sign-up sheet is located in the “Resources” section of this website.

At the bottom of this e-mail, you will find some images from our first meeting of the year on September 6th, which featured speeches from Queen Walker (selling a product: “Satin Sensation”) and Mary Lou Atkinson (leadership development: “How to Break the Habit of Breaking Habits”).

We look forward to seeing you next week on September 25th at 5pm!

NYU Toastmasters. A special Thank You and Congratulations to our Own Ajay Chitharajan, who came in first place for the Speech Evaluation portion of the Contest. Ajay who was 5th to speak out of a total of eight contestants, met every portion of the judging criteria which included talking points such as analytical quality of a speech presenters strengths and weaknesses with clarity and logic. Ajay hit the mark on his performance improvement recommendations for the speech presenter,Raphael Victor, paying attention to his own technique and inspirational thoughts. The last portion, his summation of the entire speech was pivotal in the judges decision.

Our club President, Yolanda Rayside and VP Membership, Queen Walker, believe that his conclusion put him on the fast tract to first place. Ajay has compassion that can’t be ignored. We are proud to be witnesses and accountability partners in his Toastmasters Journey.

We’ve included a few photos from the conference including the winning moment.
