I have been a member for many years and hope to learn more about ways the overall organization could lend more guidance and support to help all members know what it takes to transition competently (even to just zoom meetings.)
I feel this is something more states, towns, schools and faith and other clubs and groups would be wise to look into in terms of

An Open Letter to All Toastmasters In the World (and that's A LOT of Toastmasters, past, present and hopefully Future!) "Houston, We have a problem..."
