Their meeting location is the Heritage Inn. Cranbrook Phoenix Toastmasters has been chartered for 33 years.

The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish, they must communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program.
Every Toastmasters journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.
Toastmasters is a not-for-profit educational organization whose clubs are run by volunteers. With a combined total of 75 years in leadership and communication training Cranbrook Toastmasters club have played a role in developing the leaders of today and will continue working to support the leaders and communicators of tomorrow.
