Toastmasters

The SOVA Innovation Hub is now a meeting location for Toastmasters, serving South Boston, Halifax County, and the surrounding region. Whether you’re an experienced speaker or just getting started, Toastmasters provides a supportive, learn-by-doing environment where you can strengthen your public speaking and leadership skills.

We meet twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays, 12:00–1:00 pm at the SOVA Innovation Hub. Light snacks/refreshments are provided, and you are welcome to bring your lunch. Please plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early to get settled. Meetings begin promptly at 12:00 pm and end at 1:00 pm. As a perk of attending, you are welcome to stay and use the SOVA Innovation Hub coworking space for the remainder of the afternoon.

Our primary meeting format is in person, with a virtual option available via Zoom when members are unable to attend on site. We aim to have at least 8–10 attendees at each meeting. For more information on what to expect at your first meeting, visit: https://www.toastmasters.org/membership/my-first-meeting

Meeting attendees should be current Toastmasters International members or prospective members interested in joining. Membership is open to all community members. Costs include a $20 one-time new member fee and semi-annual dues. Ready to join? Complete your application and send it to Mallory Lawter (mallory.lawter@mbc-va.com).
