ADVANCE & CONQUER is an Advanced Speakers Club that focuses on providing speaking, educational, and leadership opportunities for Toastmasters who have already achieved the Competent Communicator (CC) designation. Members are required to also maintain their membership in a "home club" so that Advance & Conquer is an enhancement to, rather than a replacement for, their "home club." We believe that membership in an advanced club provides:
• More speaking opportunities, especially for the Advanced Communicator level speeches
• More rigorous evaluations
• More leadership opportunities
• More varied formats and themes (for example, television training, seminars, workshops)
Club members thrive in a cooperative, supportive, and fun environment. Our club offers its members challenging opportunities to present projects in a variety of advanced manuals that are geared to meet specific professional and personal goals.
Advance & Conquer Toastmasters provides club members with opportunities to build better leadership skills. Members can develop and improve their skills in:
• Leading project teams
• Being a better negotiator
• Connecting with an audience
• Running an efficient, on-time meeting

This club specializes in multiple speeches and round robin evaluations. The meetings tend to have 4 speeches per night and the meeting runs to 9:30 P.M.
