Objectivist Voices Toastmasters Club #711792

Objectivist Voices is a virtual club that is being formed to create a forum for Objectivists who are Toastmasters. The goal is to practice presenting philosophical ideas with a supportive audience, who can give constructive feedback on both style and content. The club is open to those interested in spreading Objectivism. At present, the club is restricted to those who are or have been members of another Toastmasters club.

 

Overview

Mission

Objectivist Voices is a club for individuals seriously interested in Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand. The foundation of the club is the proven Toastmasters system for developing communication and leadership skills in a supportive learning environment. In addition, our meetings include a segment on the principles and practices of constructive discussion from an Objectivist perspective. The goal of our members is to speak Objectivism to the world.

 

Details

Objectivist Voices will meet twice a month on the first and third Sundays at 2:00 PM Eastern for 1 1/2 hours.

The club will launch November 4, 2018.

Dues will be $50 for 6 months. $45 goes to Toastmasters International (TMI).

To launch our club, we are looking for 20 experienced Toastmasters who are Objectivists interested in joining this online Toastmasters club.
