Au Jus Toastmasters is an advanced Toastmasters club where we all go to become even better speakers. We listen to keynote speakers and grow even further.

Au Jus Toastmasters was formed on May 7, 2002 by Keith Hanson, Les Studer and Jim Barroca who were the founders of this club. They wanted to start an advanced Toastmasters club, where Toastmasters could share the fine dining of Ventura County. This club has many members who are current Area Governors.  There are many past Area Governors, as well as Past Division Governors, and even a Past International Director.   Au Jus has a member who has even competed at the Region Level of the International Speech contest. Au Jus Toastmasters is a place where advanced Toastmasters can hone and “raise the bar” on their speaking skills.

Au Jus meets once a month, usually on the Second Saturday of every month, or otherwise as determined by holiday schedules.  To view when and where we will meet in any given month visit the current Meeting Information page.

Au Jus translates as “with juice,” meaning the juice from roast beef. The club decided on the name because of the type of club it is. Au Jus is a monthly dinner club that meets in different restaurants every month.  The club was founded on May 7, 2002 by Keith Hanson, Les Studer, and Jim Barroca.
