Visiting a Club While Traveling

Santosh Suryawanshi, charter president and current vice president public relations of the Dresser-Rand Toastmasters club in Pune, India, sits with members of the Shut Up & Speak club in Elmira, New York. Suryawanshi visited the club when he traveled to the United States for work. 

“This kind of meeting effectively shows how Toastmasters helps us get in touch with different cultures and people, and how it makes us [feel] comfortable and safe when we are far away from our own country,” Suryawanshi says.
