Olean Toastmasters is a member of Toastmasters International. 
 
We meet the second and fourth Monday of each month. 
 
Currently we meet at 7:30 PM at the Olean Business Institute Library (side entrance). 
 
Meetings usually last about an hour and a half. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian.

There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved. 


Survey after survey shows that presentation skills are crucial to success in the workplace. Many people pay high fees for seminars to gain the skill and confidence necessary to face an audience. Toastmasters provides an option that is less expensive and held in high regard in business circles. This organization has been around for more than 80 years and offers a proven – and enjoyable – way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills.
