Ag-Lib Toastmasters Club (#6434)

Welcome!

Our Club, which was formed over 20 years ago and still enabling members to weave their dreams into success meets at the JG O’Donoghue Building located on the NE corner the University of Alberta Farm in the centre of Edmonton.

The name “Ag-Lib” stems from a useful table topics skill (ad lib: to speak or perform without formal preparation; to improvise and deliver extemporaneously), as well as its history and predominant membership of people who work for Alberta Agriculture and Food.

Being in close proximity to the University of Alberta and its diverse ethnic background, the Club has also been supportive to new job entrants and grad students who are highly skilled and whose mother tongue is not English. The club’s long and stable history is a result of its diverse membership of professionals, technicians, admin support and local community members. This healthy club currently has members whose breadth of skills and experience range from the highest level of Toastmasters recognition to those who are working on their very first speech project.

Ag-Lib is a noon hour club, run mid week, and challenges members to be organized and efficient in the running of meetings. In this respect, is a good testing ground for the demands of modern business. Many past and current members use these skills in their paid work. There are few social meetings due to the short meeting time and corporate nature of the Club; however, our members actively participate and assist other clubs in the Edmonton area to host exhilarating evening or weekend speech contests, workshops or events.

If our club is of interest to you, I welcome you to attend as a guest or contact us for further information.
