Our Toastmasters Club has made it to their one year anniversary!
Snyder Langston started a Toastmasters Club in May of 2014. It resulted from the executive team’s desire to further employees’ professional skills – particularly in Public Speaking and Communication.
Toastmasters President, John Gunther, championed the effort and mentored employees throughout the program. Twenty team members formally joined Toastmasters International, established the Snyder Langston Toastmasters Club, and embarked on a journey toward better communication.
Congrats to our members for participating in this and completing one year. Below is a list of inaugural club members and club officers who played an additional role:
1) Kelsey Knapp
2) Ryan Carroll
