The Toastmasters Mission
A statement of shared values
Every Toastmasters club shares the same mission, clearly defined in the following mission statement:
We provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth..
Through this mission, each Toastmaster gains a clear understanding of the club's purpose, and the organization as a whole benefits from a shared set of values and goals.

Dear members of District 107,
Why did you join Toastmasters?
Many of us would say that we wanted to overcome the fear of public speaking,
become better communicators, develop our leadership skills, compete in speech contests,
meet people from around the world, or find a second family.
All of these are wonderful reasons. However, over the years, I have come to believe that
there may be an even more fundamental answer.
We joined Toastmasters because there was a Toastmasters club waiting for us.
It sounds obvious until we stop to think about it.
The club was already there.
The meeting agenda had already been prepared.
The officers were already serving.
Contests were being organized.
Conferences were taking place.
Someone had built all of this before we arrived. Because they did, our lives changed.
In 1924, Toastmasters began with a single club in Anaheim, California, led by
Dr. Ralph C. Smedley. It started with one club, a handful of people, and one idea. More
than one hundred years later, millions of lives have been transformed, including yours
and mine. That happened because generation after generation of volunteers refused to
take Toastmasters for granted. They created clubs, mentored members, trained leaders,
and served so that one day, people like you and me would have a place to belong.
As District Director, I have the privilege of leading an extraordinary team of volunteers
who have accepted that same responsibility: to leave Toastmasters stronger than we found it.
That means creating opportunities for new clubs to be born, helping existing clubs achieve
excellence, and ensuring that more people across Algeria, Andorra, Gibraltar, Morocco,
Portugal, Spain, and Tunisia can experience what we have experienced.
I firmly believe that somewhere, someone is waiting for a Toastmasters club that does not
yet exist. Perhaps it is the next World Champion. Perhaps the next InternationalPresident.
Or perhaps simply someone who needs a safe place to find their voice.
In either case, they deserve that opportunity. It is our responsibility to bring it to them.
Let us build that opportunity together.
TOGETHER WE CREATE... everything!
Thank you for your trust.
Thank you for your service.
I look forward to serving alongside you.
Izidro Sousa, DTM
District Director
