Organization Overview
One of over 14,350 worldwide, Merrimasters is a Nashua-based Toastmasters International club. Founded in 1924, Toastmasters is a nonprofit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills. Merrimasters was founded in 1990 at a Digital Equipment Corporation in Merrimack and now meets at the Nashua Public Library.
Club Specifics
On a bi-monthly basis, Merrimasters members and guests build their competence in communication so they can gain the confidence to lead others. Using proven Toastmasters educational components, the club continually evolves to address the needs of local communicators and leaders both today and tomorrow.
Merrimasters club members learn to tell their story. 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. They do this by practice and learning skills by filling meeting roles, ranging from giving a prepared or an impromptu speech to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian. There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in positive manner, focusing on what was done correctly and what could be improved. Great communicators tend to be great leaders.
General Information
Merrimasters typically meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month, from noon to 1 pm at the Nashua Public Library. Meetings are usually held in the theater. Check our website for more specific info:
