Toastmasters Networking Using XING, LinkedIn, and other sites
Welcome to the Toastmasters Networking Groups site, where you can find Toastmasters-related community and social networking sites on the web. This site is the primary home for two Toastmasters groups: 
The XING business networking site has a Toastmasters group at https://www.xing.com/net/tmi/ .
LinkedIn also has a Toastmasters group, and members show the Toastmasters logo proudly on their profiles. The LinkedIn group has no home page to visit. Anyone who wants to join should:
- Make sure that their public profile has “Toastmasters” listed as an activity, a group, or an affiliation of some kind
- Visit http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/22215/1E3169625822 to request membership
If you have any problems, please e-mail us at moderators@toastmasters-networking.org and we can preapprove your membership.
For People Inviting Their Fellow Toastmasters to Join: Please forward a list of the members you are inviting (first name, last name, and e-mail address) to moderators@toastmasters-networking.org, and also send your fellow Toastmasters a personal e-mail with the hyper link above. We will preapprove all of the people on your list. They can then immediately join, and they do not need to update their public profile.
Some Club Officers, Area Governors, and others have used this feature when they have invited large groups of Toastmasters to join LinkedIn. We will not use these lists for any purpose, except to preapprove their group membership.

But First, Join Toastmasters International!
Before joining any of these social and business networking groups, join Toastmasters International. Visit www.toastmasters.org, find a club near to you, visit, and join. You may want to visit a few local clubs; every club has its own approach, attitude, and atmosphere.
If you cannot find a club you like or if there are no clubs near you, start one yourself. Contact Toastmaster International, and they will find volunteers who will be happy to help you get started. Starting a club is a great way to learn and grow, both personally and professionally.
