An open house is a special Toastmasters meeting designed specifically to introduce potential members to the Toastmasters experience and recruit them into the organization. This unique event showcases the many benefits of Toastmasters by providing a firsthand look at its structure, activities, and supportive environment. The best way to inspire someone to join Toastmasters is to let them experience it for themselves. Unlike other types of events, a well-organized and engaging open house has a direct impact, allowing guests to see the value of Toastmasters in action.

To assist you in planning and executing a successful open house, we encourage you to download our official Open House Kit. This comprehensive resource includes a curated Guest Speaker list, flyer templates, customizable agenda generators, and other essential documents designed to simplify your event preparation. The kit also provides guidance on collecting the necessary information to ensure your club receives proper credit for hosting the event. And remember, your first Open House counts double ($40) towards District Bucks. So, what are you waiting for? Use our Open House Kit to host a memorable and impactful event that leaves guests eager to become part of the Toastmasters community.

If you use the Open House Kit, we’d like your feedback. Email jeffrey [at] d57tm . org for comments, questions, and requests for improvements.
