The special chapter invites veterans, wounded warriors, transitioning military personnel and caregivers to experience the Toastmasters program that works to build skills in public speaking, job interview situations and experiencing group settings. The program seeks to build self-confidence and maximize potential.
“Veterans sometimes leave military service with issues of various kinds—some obvious to others and some not so obvious,” said Wayne Miller, chair of the Montgomery County Commission on Veterans Affairs. “Often not noticeable is the lack of self-confidence that comes in moving to the non-military world. Toastmasters is one opportunity veterans can take advantage of to build the skills and confidence needed to succeed in their next steps in life.”
