2 Reasons Why You Can Be Your Club’s Webmaster
1. You don’t have to be a web designer to have an amazing website for your club!
2. You won’t have to spend countless hours as a webmaster.
If you are a chartered Toastmasters club just follow these steps...
01 The very first thing to do is:
Verify that all your club’s information is listed correctly with the Toastmasters International website. Check that the club’s address, contact email and whether or not your club accepts virtual attendance are correctly recorded.
You will need this information to get your website.
