You are invited to join a meeting with Fred Johnson as Keynote Speaker.

Many people find it difficult, if not impossible, to recall benefits resulting from the Covid-19 global pandemic. People and organizations had to revisit or re-imagine concepts like family, friendship, work, and public speaking. Toastmasters, showing the excellent resiliency which, since its founding in 1924, has made it such an effective organization for developing dynamic public speakers and leaders, rose to the challenge. Clubs inspired audiences through creative uses of technology.
