Michigan Avenue Toastmasters (Club #5752)
Michigan Avenue Toastmasters (MAT) is a President's Distinguished Club and one of Chicago's most social Toastmasters chapters, chartered in 1985. The club meets every Tuesday at the InterContinental Chicago Hotel (505 N Michigan Ave) or online. MAT is the home club of Toastmasters District 103 Impromptu Speaking and Humorous Speaking Champions, and was the official host of two 2025 District 103 speech contests. Members from diverse professional backgrounds practice prepared and impromptu speeches, take on meeting roles (timer, evaluator, grammarian), and develop communication and leadership skills in a supportive, fun environment. Guests are always welcome and there is no pressure to participate until ready.
