Toastmaster of the Year [TMOY]

Please take time to recognize a deserving member of your club as the club’s Toastmaster of the Year (TMOY).

Each Toastmasters club has talented, hard-working and dedicated members. Each year, one member stands out because of their participation inside and outside the club. This member supports their fellow members, the club, and perhaps the overall Toastmasters organization. These members are deserving of Toastmaster of the Year (TMOY) recognition.
