Our history:
Netizens Online began as a Study Group in March 2012, sanctioned by Toastmasters International for the purposes of exploring and practicing conducting great meetings online with participants who are distributed from around the globe.
The Name Netizen is a portmanteau of the English words Internet and citizen. It is defined as an entity or person actively involved in online communities and a user of the Internet, especially an avid one. Netizens are also commonly referred to as cyber citizens, which has the same meaning.
We achieved President’s Distinguished Status in the Distinguished Club Program for the Toastmasters International Year 2018-2019, the highest status possible.Netizens is the FIRST Official Online Toastmasters Club #5357724, Chartered March 25, 2016, a member of Toastmasters International, conducting all meetings via video-conferencing with members across the globe and time zones.
