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 an OFFICIAL Toastmasters group. Toastmasters International administers this group and verifies that every member of this group is an actual, verified Toastmasters member (current or former). Anyone who wants to join should:
Visit http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/98449/1D64E54F9CC9 to request membership.
If you have multiple e-mail addresses, try to make sure that the one currently on-file with Toastmasters International is also on your LinkedIn profile. If you are a former Toastmaster and your name or e-mail address has changed, notify the group administrator after requesting membership.
Note that the former, unofficial “Toastmasters International” group has been disbanded and is in the process of being incorporated into the new, official group. If you are currently a member of the “Toastmasters International” group, click on the link above to join the new, official “Toastmasters International Members” group. The icon for the old group looks like this:

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.
