Please feel free to assist to any meeting and let us know at the end of the meeting that you are interested about the club. Our officers will be more than willing to give you all information you require about Toastmasters Bogotá.

Can I participate even though I'm not a member?

You can attend any number of sessions you would like as a guest and only participate in the Tabletopics activity for free. Tabletopics are impromptu speeches from official members and guests who present a one to two minute improvised speech on a subject not known to them until the moment you get up to speak!

How much does it cost?

You can attend any number of sessions you would like as a guest for free but if you would like to start making prepared speeches and become an official member, it is mandatory to pay the membership fee for six months. If you stay at the end of the session, our officers will be more than willing to give you all information related to fees, payment methods and deadlines.

What are the membership benefits I will get when I become an official member of Toastmasters Club Bogota?

In return, you will get the official Manuals from Toastmasters International so you can start presenting. Also, you get an official number from Toastmasters International so you can access www.toastmasters.org and you will also start receiving the magazine Toastmasters edited by Toastmasters International. Most importantly, you will be given the chance to schedule and present a prepared speech at a meeting, do your presentation and your speech evaluator will rise to give you oral commentary as well. The purpose of the extensive preparation and commentary is to show you what you're doing well, what you need to work on, and driving these lessons home so you're constantly improving.

Do I need a high English proficiency level to participate?

No. You can have a basic level of English to start just attending the sessions. But if you would like to become an official member and start doing presentations, you will need at least an intermediate level of English so you can fulfill the objectives for each presentation.

Can I bring people to the Toastmasters Bogota sessions?
Yes. The more the merrier!
