StenoMasters, the online nonprofit speaking club formed by Joshua Edwards, is using the donation that I pledged at its inaugural meeting to induct seven students for free. Tell a student they can apply today! In my view, by using coaches such as Ana Fatima Costa or TALLsmall, and then using as the club as a safe place to practice, stenographers can become effective public speakers and advocates. Check out Joshua Edwards’s message to students below!
“Steno students,
You have a rare chance to earn a free annual StenoMasters membership. Thanks to a generous $1,000 donation from Christopher Day, RPR, we can induct seven students into the club for free for the first year (membership runs through Sept. 30, 2022), a value of $146.
StenoMasters is chartered under Toastmasters International, a 97-year-old organization that has been providing public speaking training and leadership development for people all over the world. Stenographic captioners, reporters, and students all over the country are invited to attend and join. We meet biweekly on Tuesday evenings at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT online. The next meeting is November 16.
Here are three steps to earn a free membership:
1. Read the FAQs at stenomasters.com to learn more about the club and decide if this interests you.
2. Email Info@StenoMasters.com to express your interest.
3. Show up at the meeting on 11/16.
Warm regards,
Joshua Edwards, RDR, CRR
