Toastmaster Durand will ensure that NITC provides value to its members through the provision of continuous developmental training.

The Nature Isle Toastmasters Club provides a learning experience in a supportive environment that empowers its members to enhance their communication and leadership skills. NITC has again demonstrated its resilience by overcoming many of the challenges faced during the Covid-19 pandemic. NITC has displayed its ability to accept changing circumstances, and embrace the opportunities available even in times of challenges, to continue meetings via zoom.

This new Zoom environment provided an opportunity for much-needed learning for club members to interact with other clubs all across the globe virtually. The highlight of the virtual experience was the opportunity to attend the Toastmasters International Convention. Toastmasters International President DTM Richard Peck grabbed the virtual opportunity and was able to visit several clubs during his reign 2020/2021, which included NITC.
